It’s been four years since President Biden and former President Donald Trump last debated each other, and this year, they’re taking the stage in Atlanta, Georgia.
The debate will break campaign tradition by occurring months earlier than usual and with a new set of rules, including muted microphones unless a candidate is directly spoken to, no prewritten notes, and a coin toss to determine the order of closing statements.
Check back on Thursday to watch the debate live.

In Israel, the Supreme Court ruled that the military must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox Jewish men to fight in the war. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish people have been long exempted from serving in Israel, which is mandatory for most other citizens.
