U.S, President Joe Biden, 81, will face off against Republican rival Donald Trump, 78, for 90 minutes at 9 p.m.

It’s the first of two scheduled debates, the second won’t be until September.

The debate will air on CNN.

Some ground rules have been put in place:

  • Both candidates have agreed to meet at a CNN studio in Atlanta with no audience.
  • Each candidate’s microphone will be muted, except when it’s his turn to speak.
  • No props or prewritten notes will be allowed onstage.
  • The candidates will be given only a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water.
  • There will be no opening statements.
  • A coin flip determined Biden would stand at the podium to the viewer’s right, while Trump would deliver the final closing statement.

Very unique situation:

  • Never before in the modern era have two presumptive nominees met on the debate stage so early in the general election season.
  • Never before have two White House contenders faced off at such advanced ages, with widespread questions about their readiness.
  • Never before has a general election debate participant been saddled with a felony conviction.

An eight-year-old Pekingese, named Wild Thang, won the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest in California on the weekend.

Wild Thang, who suffered from canine distemper as a puppy, now boasts a healthy and happy life despite his physical differences. Wild Thing has wild Albert Einstein-like hair and a tongue that hangs out of his mouth.

The event is held annually in California, as part of the Sonoma-Marin Fair.

Mug Root Beer will feature the World’s Ugliest Dog on limited-edition cans.
