The stage is set for one of the most consequential general election showdowns in decades.

Welcome to DailyMail.com's live blog of the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden on CNN at 9pm.

Donald Trump and Joe Bill will go head-to-head at 9pm on CNN for their first debate of the 2024 presidential race, and the stakes could not be higher.

In the hotly anticipated rematch, Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, will be in the same room together for the first time since their debates in the 2020.

The head-to-head is vital for each candidate to prove they are mentally and physically fit for office. Attacks from both camps have been centered on age and allegations of cognitive decline. They have 90 minutes in front of an audience of tens of millions.

Biden has repeatedly said Trump became 'unhinged' after losing the 2020 election, while Trump has hinted that he believes Biden will be on 'cocaine' during the 90-minute-long showdown.

Welcome to DailyMail.com's live coverage of the first debate between Trump and Biden

Donald Trump and Joe Bill go head-to-head night for their first general election debate of the 2024 presidential race in one of the most consequential showdowns in decades.

In the hotly anticipated rematch at 9pm on CNN, Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, will be in the same room together for the first time since their debates in the 2020.

The debate is vital for each candidate to prove they are mentally and physically fit for office. Pre-debate attacks from both camps have been centered on age and allegations of cognitive decline.

They have 90 minutes in front of an audience of tens of millions and on the biggest stage of the general election campaign so far to show why they are the candidate to pick in November.

Trump's allies have said Biden will be pumped full of performance-enhancing drugs so he can make it through. Joe's campaign have warned Donald won't be able to control himself.
