Presidential nominees President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump Staff article: CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-ATLANTA, Georgia -President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have accepted an invitation from CNN to debate on June 27, 2024,  a historically early showdown  that CNN says will set the tone for the final months of the 2024 campaign. The presidential election is Nov. 5 as the two nominees, Biden a Republican and Trump, a Democrat, fight to the end.

 By   Clevelandurbannews.com and   Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com CLEVELAND, Ohio- Led by head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs series on Wednesday night in Boston to the Boston Celtics 113-98 in Game 5 of the best of seven series, bringing an end to their 2023-2024 season. Cavs stars Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen remained injured and unable to play Wednesday as did Caris LeVert, the team's star player off the bench. Darius Garland and Evan Mobley carried the Cavs throughout the series. All of them are Black, and so is coach Bickerstaff. The series final was 4-1 with the Cavs unable to mount a comeback from a Game 4 loss last week against the No 1 seed. The Celtics will now proceed to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals and will face the winner of the series between the  Knicks and the Pacers , which New York leads 3-2.
