Biden and former President Trump take the stage for a debate that will offer voters a rare side-by-side look at the two oldest candidates ever to run for president.

Biden, 81, and Trump, 78, will be under pressure to display mastery of issues and avoid verbal stumbles as they seek a decisive moment in a race that opinion polls show is deadlocked for months.

The 90-minute televised debate, the first between a sitting president and a former president, will air at 9 p.m. ET (0100 GMT Friday) on CNN and is expected to draw a large audience. A record 84 million people watched Trump’s first debate in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.
