Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly seeking to alter the rules of the upcoming September 10 debate with Donald Trump, hosted by ABC News.
The proposed changes revolve around the use of muted microphones, a stipulation that was previously agreed upon.
According to The Post Millennial, Harris took to social media to express her concerns, stating, "Donald Trump is surrendering to his advisors who won't allow him to debate with a live microphone. If his own team doesn't have confidence in him, the American people definitely cant." This statement suggests a lack of faith in Trump's ability to debate effectively, and it also implies that his team shares this sentiment.
The Sept. 10 debate, initially agreed upon with Biden, had set rules for muted microphones during the course of the debate. However, Harris has expressed a desire for a more "transparent" debate, advocating for "microphones on the whole time."
In addition to the microphone issue, the debate rules also stipulate that there will be no audience and no written notes for either Trump or Harris. However, Harris has reportedly attempted to modify these rules as well, seeking permission to have written notes.
This story is still developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. The debate's outcome could have significant implications, potentially influencing public opinion and shaping the political landscape. As such, the rules of engagement, including the use of microphones and notes, are of paramount importance.
