The event is much earlier in the year than debates of the past — one of several ways it breaks with tradition. This debate will look and feel differently, thanks to new rules and conditions set by the candidates themselves, including no opening statements and a muting mechanism for the candidate who’s not supposed to be talking. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to qualify for the CNN debate.
