| − | '''Presidential Debates''' are hearings where two Presidential opponents appear together and are asked questions about their political views. The first official Presidential Debate was between [[John F. Kennedy]] and [[Richard Nixon]] in 1960. The most recent Presidential Debate was between incumbant [[George W. Bush]] and Senator [[John Kerry]] in 2004. The only gap is from 1964 to 1972 because both [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] and [[Richard Nixon]] did not accept debates during that time. | + | '''Presidential Debates''' are hearings where two Presidential opponents appear together and are asked questions about their political views.
