Debate Bingo: Welcome to the 2024 Biden-Trump showdown

Debate Bingo - Round 1: US Presidential Debates 2024

Here we are with the first of two presidential debates of the 2024 US election campaign. Thursday night’s debate will mark the first time a sitting US President debates a former one, and it will be the first debate for both in this campaign season.

Trump comes into this debate as a convicted felon in his hush money trial, with more cases on deck. Biden will have the chance to score points, face-to-face, but we can't promise that any slobbing or slurring won't lead to some "poor old Joe" jibes. Trump won't shy away from hitting below the belt, and that’s another reason why the policy of muting candidates' mics remains in place. This will make for an exciting duel... or brawl?

And to make the most of the experience, we've brought it back: DEBATE BINGO! Yes, you can make it a competition with your fellow politics nerd pals by printing out GZERO Media's debate bingo cards. Or just screenshot them and share with your friends to compare online. There are four different cards so that each player can have a unique board. Every time one of the candidates says one of these words or terms, X it on your card. The first player to get five across wins. And if you really want to jazz it up, you can mark each of your words by taking a swig of your favorite beverage, doing five burpees, or donating to your favorite charity or political candidate. Whatever your game is, you can play it with our bingo cards while you watch the debate on CNN at 9 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 27.

Enjoy! Follow our coverage of the debate with us on social media too - we'll be on X @gzeromedia.

The last five years have brought big changes to social media and the online experience, but are users better off for it? Chatbots and AI-generated content proliferate in social feeds. Twitter/X and, just recently, Meta have stopped fact-checking content to prioritize "free speech." As platforms like BlueSky emerge, toxicity and arguments might decrease, but it also leads to a more fragmented and atomized society, with no 'town square' to debate big issues. On GZERO World, Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson joins Ian Bremmer to discuss the seismic shifts in the social media landscape and the implications of AI-driven communication.

At this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, our Global Stage panel discussion, "The AI Economy: An Engine for Local Growth", will examine AI’s growing global impact, the potential for enormous benefits to society, and the investments necessary to ensure equitable diffusion and adoption of AI tools. Watch the live premiere today at 11 am ET/5 pm CET at gzeromedia.com/globalstage.

TikTokkers may credit President Donald Trump with the app’s restoration on Sunday, which came 12 hours after a government ban shut it down, but their joy may be short-lived.

In his first hours back in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order denying citizenship to children born to unauthorized immigrants in the US. Eighteen state attorneys general, along with San Francisco and Washington, DC, immediately sued to block the order.
