On Thursday, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will appear together at CNN studios in Atlanta for a hotly anticipated90-minute debate. CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the event, and the network says they “will use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion.” (Good luck with that.)
