Two presidential debates for major candidates in the general election were held in connection with the 2024 presidential election. The first general election debate between the major candidates was sponsored by CNN and attended by then-presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden and then-presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on June 27, 2024. Biden was widely considered to have performed poorly during the first debate, with many commentators and Democrats calling for him to drop out of the race. He ultimately withdrew his bid for re-election on July 21. A second debate, sponsored by ABC, was held on September 10, 2024 between Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
