After announcing it would host the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle last week, CNN has decided to open up the event to other networks.
The June 27th event between President Joe Biden (D) and former President Donald Trump (R) will be made available to simulcast a network spokesperson confirmed.
While it would be willing to give up the exclusivity of the event, CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will still serve as moderators.
The June debate will join the September 10th event hosted by ABC News as being available to other networks, should they come to an agreement.
In addition to being available on other networks, the June debate will be available on CNN Internation, the network’s Spanish-language channel, and the Max streaming platform, as well as the network’s website.
