Biden and Trump campaigns agreed to mic muting, podiums among rules for upcoming CNN debate | CNN Politics
edition.cnn.com

The 90-minute debate will include two commercial breaks, according to the network, and campaign staff may not interact with their candidate during that time.

Both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium, and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip.

Microphones will be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak. While no props or pre-written notes will be allowed on the stage, candidates will be given a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water.

Going to watch to see if I can guess how many drugs they’ll prop up Trump with. I’m going to guess a lot

I'm pro Biden in this lineup, but you know that dude is gonna have a "nap" and an "ice cream cone" before the debate too lol

Edit lol I'm not sure if the downvotes are from trump fans or Biden fans. Clearly senior age politicians have carefully managed drug cocktails for focus and energy. This isn't a secret, or a problem. If you can't take a simple joke about ice cream vs meds, you should reevaluate your position on celebrities.

But the guy that slept through his own criminal trial will definitely not need a nap before/during the debate.

/s just in case

Obviously. He's gonna be super hopped up on diet coke and diet pills. And hamberders.

You gotta be a teenager or something if you're too cool for ice cream and naps

Ice cream and a nap sounds awesome

Obviously not the joke I was making. Everyone likes those things.

They would also love that presidential grade focus drug cocktail
