 The Biden campaign is trying to remind voters about the stakes of this race, and they want that to happen now. So they pushed to move the debates earlier and the Trump campaign readily agreed. So instead, the two campaigns decided to ditch the commission and its rules and set up new debates run by media networks. This first one kicks off on Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern with CNN at their studio in Atlanta. And it's the first time a private media company is organizing a debate in decades.
