There will be no live audience, in accordance with the Biden campaign’s request.
the live audience is hamas
What a fucking coward, he knows he'd get roasted.
The Trump campaign is equally dumb for allowing it when it would only help them pretty much lol
Trump knows how to play a crowd. They're taking that away from him. Also taking away "unauthorized uncut vids" that might leak....beyond the diapers that evening. 
unpresidented 
They're unprecedented because presidential debates have never been held this early in modern history as is stated in paragraph six of this article and many others

You just ruined my joke about time being linear and every event being unprecedented
“She got me,” AOCapitulator said of RION's dunk over them. "That f***ing RION boomed me."
AOCapitulator added, “She’s so good,” repeating it four times.
AOCapitulator then said they wanted to add RION to the list of posters they type with this summer.
They literally buried the lede lol.
This hasn't happened since the 70s isn't really unprecedented though? I'm not sure I understand, are you saying this is a meaningful distinction? Is this actually a big deal? Cause it sure seems like fluff
If not, I'm owned and wrong, sorry
Televised presidential debates have only been a thing since 1960 with JFK and Nixon, and then a 16 year gap until the Carter/Ford debates in 1976 after which every election has had them. I chose to qualify with "modern history" in case someone came in with " ☝️🤓 um akshually Benjamin Whosifuck debated Andrew Jackson a full year before the general in 18XX." Apparently there is one like that (Lincoln/Douglas 1858 on a technicality) so that was shrewd in hindsight, although a better approach might have been to qualify with "televised debate".
The real issue is that this is happening before either party's primary. While it's all but assured Donny and Brandon will win their primaries, it's kind of skeevy to go ahead and declare yourself as winner before you've actually crossed the finish line. One would think civil religion libs would be aghast at this blatant disrespect of political norms, but bloo gonna bloo 
Ahh that makes sense, thanks for setting me straight :)
If I was still a Dem "true believer" I would say this is a ploy by the conservadems/DINOs to preemtively stop a delegate revolution at the convention. All of those delegates watch polls like hawks and could be convinced to jump ship.
Now I just laugh
Hopefully they both get jacked up on whatever steroid cocktail their team gives them for big events and we get a good show.
Funniest outcome the building catches on fire with both of them on stage and they both die.
Canceled due to bird flu is my personal bet, I'm going hard doomer this year
It's unprecedented because Biden stole the election in 2020 and he's going to steal it again in 2024.

I think it's unprecedented because they are going outside of, like, the Designated Organization which Runs Presidential Debates and Only Exists for that Purpose, which is essentially a real thing, I've learned of only today.
So who will be organizing this one? Vince McMahon?

Very super cool and normal organization to have, very freedom much democracy
Wasn’t there a time when Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas spent literally all day debating each other? Or am I thinking of somebody else?
ETA: Glancing at NATOpedia, it seems that the debates in total lasted twenty‐one hours, which is possibly why I thought that at one point they argued for an entire day.

In the death note:
Donald Trump and Joe Biden, mutual fist fight to the death on the debate stage
I don't think these people know what the word means, they just think the more syllables a word has, the more smart it makes them sound.
I think Obama and Romney had at least 3
