@A Brief History of Presidential Debates - US 101
Presidential debates for the 2020 elections have begun. How did debates between presidential candidates get their start in the United States? On this episode of US 101 we take a brief look at the history of presidential debates in the U.S. We learn about the first instance of supporters of a candidate publicly defending them, why a 19th century Senate debate set the bar for political debate in America, and the first nationally broadcast debates between presidential candidates that happened before John F. Kennedy debated Richard Nixon in 1960.
