1/ Biden and Trump agreed to a pair of presidential debates before the November election. The first debate is June 27. It’ll be hosted by CNN and will not have an audience. The second debate will be Sept. 10, and hosted by ABC News. Earlier in the day, Biden said he’d “received and accepted an invitation” from CNN to participate in a debate. “Over to you, Donald. As you said: anywhere, any time, any place,” Biden said. Trump accepted the invitation shortly after, saying: “Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!” Neither debate will involve the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has been organizing and hosting debates for nearly 40 years. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. – aka The Worm – accused Biden and Trump of “colluding” to exclude him from the debate stage “because they are afraid I would win.” (Politico / NBC News / Associated Press / Axios / New York Times / Washington Post / NPR / CNN / Wall Street Journal)
