The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) is a 501(c)(3) organization that sponsors, organizes, and establishes guidelines for general election presidential and vice presidential debates. Founded in 1987, the CPD has sponsored every general presidential and vice presidential debate since 1988.

The CPD is controlled by an independent board. As of January 2024, Frank Fahrenkopf Jr. and Antonia Hernandez were serving as co-chairs of the commission and Janet Brown served as executive director of the board.[11]

The CPD’s funding primarily comes from the communities that host the debates and corporate, foundation, and private donors. It does not receive funding from the government or any political party.[12]

Noteworthy events

Republican National Committee calls for changes to debate process (June 2021)

On June 1, 2021, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel wrote an open letter to the co-chairs of CPD, Frank Fahrenkopf and Kenneth Wollack, criticizing the organization’s conduct during the 2020 general election and requesting changes in the 2024 presidential election cycle. McDaniel wrote, “The CPD’s repeated missteps and the partisan actions of its Board Members make clear that the organization no longer provides the fair and impartial forum for presidential debates which the law requires an the American people deserve.” McDaniel said the RNC would advise future nominees not to participate in CPD-hosted debates if changes were not made.[13]

The RNC requested the following changes:[13]

“

• Adopt term limits for its Board of Directors, several Members of which have sat on the Board for a decade, with two sitting on the Board since 1996.
• Enact a code of conduct which prohibits CPD officers, directors, and staff from making public comments supporting or opposing any candidate, or otherwise engaging in partisan political activity in connection with the presidential election;
• Enforce meaningful consequences for violating such rules, up to and including removal from the Board of Directors;
• Commit to hosting at least one debate prior to the start of early voting in any state, and in no case after the deadline for states to mail absentee ballots to uniformed and overseas voters (45 days before the general election);
• Establish transparent criteria for selecting moderators, disqualifying individuals from consideration who have an appearance of bias due to personal, professional, or partisan factors;
• Enact a transparent code of conduct for moderators, to include guidelines for appropriate interactions with the candidates during the debates; and
• Impose penalties for violating such guidelines, to include suspending their employer network from participating in future debates.[14]

“My goal in this framework is to give the grassroots a bigger voice than ever before; to showcase our candidates on an array of media platforms; to present opportunity for vigorous discussion about issues, ideas and solutions; and to reach as many potential voters as possible. That is how we will put our nominee in the strongest position possible to defeat Donald Trump, and how we will help elect Democrats up and down the ballot,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez said.[16] The following table provides an overview of the date, location, host, and number of participants in each scheduled 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate.

History of televised presidential debates

Although the 1960 general election debate between John F. Kennedy (D) and Richard Nixon (R) is frequently cited as the first televised presidential debate, two came before it.

The first televised presidential debate took place on May 21, 1956, when an ABC affiliate in Miami broadcast a Democratic primary debate between Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver.[18] In the general election that year, Stevenson and incumbent President Dwight Eisenhower (R) used surrogates in a televised debate on November 4, 1956. They were represented by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (D) and Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R), respectively.[19]

The Kennedy-Nixon debates that took place four years later showed the importance of television as a visual medium, “Nixon, pale and underweight from a recent hospitalization, appeared sickly and sweaty, while Kennedy appeared calm and confident. As the story goes, those who listened to the debate on the radio thought Nixon had won. But those listeners were in the minority. … Those that watched the debate on TV thought Kennedy was the clear winner. Many say Kennedy won the election that night,” TIME reported on the 50th anniversary of the event.[20]

While a handful of presidential primary debates were held between 1964 and 1972, the televised presidential debate did not become a staple of American politics until 1976.[21]

Overview

The following chart shows the number of presidential and vice presidential debates that took place in each election cycle between 1960 and 2020.
