Trump Predicted To Be No-Show At Presidential Debate

Donald Trump looks Confident.

Democratic strategist James Carville recently made headlines by suggesting that there is a possibility of former President Trump being a 'no-show' at the upcoming presidential debate. Carville expressed his skepticism, stating that if he were a gambler, he would bet even money on Trump not showing up.

Carville's comments come as preparations are underway for the first presidential debate scheduled for June 27, where Trump is set to face off against President Biden. Both candidates have agreed to participate in at least two debates, bypassing the Commission on Presidential Debates, which traditionally organized such events.

The upcoming debate will be moderated by CNN, a network that Trump has criticized in the past. Trump recently voiced concerns about the fairness of CNN, suggesting there is only a '10% chance' they will treat him fairly during the debate.

CNN has released the rules and format for the debate, which will feature both candidates standing behind podiums without any props or prepared notes. The 90-minute event will include two commercial breaks, during which candidates are prohibited from consulting with their teams. Additionally, microphones will be muted when one candidate is speaking to ensure a structured and orderly debate.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Trump's participation, both candidates are also scheduled to debate in September, with the event being moderated by news anchors. The debates are expected to be crucial moments in the lead-up to the election, providing voters with insights into the candidates' policies and positions on key issues.
