Trump Campaign Casts Doubt on September Debate with Harris Over Microphone Dispute

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is raising concerns about the upcoming September 10 debate with Kamala Harris on ABC, citing a dispute over the rules. Trump’s team wants microphones to be muted throughout the debate, except for the candidate speaking, as was the case in his first debate with President Joe Biden.

However, the Harris campaign wants both candidates’ microphones to be live throughout the broadcast.The Trump campaign argues that they agreed to the ABC debate under the same terms as the previous debate, while the Harris campaign accuses Trump’s team of trying to hide his inability to “act presidential” for 90 minutes without a mute button.

The debate’s format remains uncertain, with both candidates preparing for the event.
