LOS ANGELES, CA—JUNE 25, 2024—The Kennedy campaign is restoring the rights of American voters to see the presidential debate as it is supposed to be — Biden, Trump, Kennedy — and to decide for themselves which candidate will best serve them over the coming four years. Since 71% of Americans want to see Kennedy on the debate stage, the campaign will give them what they want at TheRealDebate.com.

WHAT: The Real Debate Moderating by John Stossel
WHEN: Thursday, June 27 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET
WHERE: West Hollywood, Los Angeles
RSVP: Media must request press credentials at [email protected] with THE REAL DEBATE in the subject line and include their name, outlet, title, and phone number.

The Real Debate will be streamed on X and TheRealDebate.com from a studio in Los Angeles with a live audience.

The Kennedy campaign is thrilled to have renowned journalist John Stossel moderate The Real Debate.

With six qualifying polls and confirmed ballot access in more states than either of his competitors, Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. meets all published participation criteria. His exclusion from the CNN debate stage has been widely decried as an act of collusion between two establishment parties terrified of being held to their records and a cable news channel willing to compromise journalistic integrity to secure a multi-million dollar payday.

CNN’s debate breaks historical precedent since it will be the:

• first time in American history that a general election debate has been owned and controlled by a for-profit corporation.
• first time since the inaugural presidential debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon where not a single voter will be present at the presidential debate.
• earliest in a presidential election year in history and the first time prior to the DNC and RNC nominating conventions.
• first presidential debate since 1988 that the Commission on Presidential Debates has not sponsored.
• first-ever debate between a sitting president and a former president.
• a matchup of the two oldest candidates in U.S. history.

“The American people want leaders who trust them to make up their own minds,” Kennedy said. “Instead, our last two presidents are restricting voters from choosing anyone other than themselves. Presidents Biden and Trump have sucked trillions of dollars from the pockets of working people and Americans deserve to hear from the one candidate who can hold them to account.”
