Former President Donald Trump will be the last to speak at the debate on CNN with President Joe Biden, which will be held this Thursday (27) . The order was decided by a coin toss, which also determined the position of the candidates on the stage.
The Biden campaign won the toss – drawing tails – and could therefore choose whether to select the position on stage or the order of closing statements.
The president’s representatives preferred to choose the right position on the stage, that is, the Democrat will be on the right on the screen, and Trump on the left for the viewers.
The former president’s campaign was then left with the closing statement, which means that Biden will speak first at the conclusion of the debate.
For Trump, having the final statement in the debate CNN It’s a notable difference from the trial against him in New York last month.
