CNN aired a demonstration of how its audio presentation will work during Thursday night’s presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Trump and Biden are set to face off in the first of at least two presidential debates on Thursday evening. The first debate will include a number of stipulations that were insisted upon by the Biden Campaign, including the lack of a studio audience, as well as a friendly moderator in CNN’s Jake Tapper, who has made his disdain for the former president known on a number of occasions.
The debate will also feature a rule that will require the opposing candidate’s microphone to be muted while the other is speaking. This, like the other requirements, was insisted upon by the Biden Campaign.
CNN’s Victor Blackwell explained that each podium will contain a set of green lights that will be activated when each candidate is given their respective time to answer questions. Blackwell and his colleague then demonstrated how it will sound and look if one of the candidates attempts to interrupt the other.
