CNN announced the rules and additional details for its June 27 presidential debate, setting the stage for the event less than two weeks away.
Notable details include the absence of a studio audience, muted microphones except when a candidate is given time to speak, and each candidate’s presence at a uniform podium. No props or pre-written notes will be allowed on the stage, though candidates will be given a pen, a pad of paper, and a bottle of water.
