Excitement Builds for High-Stakes Debate Between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump
As the highly anticipated Sept. 10 debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump draws near, the campaigns are locked in a battle over whether microphones should be muted. The pressure is on for both candidates to deliver a strong performance in Philadelphia as their last debate led to President Joe Biden’s departure from the race.
Trump’s recent comments on his social network about potentially not participating in the debate on ABC have added fuel to the fire. The current dispute revolves around muting microphones when a candidate isn’t speaking, a condition that was accepted for their June debate by both Biden and Trump.
While Biden’s team regretted the decision to mute microphones during their debate, Harris’ campaign is now pushing for live microphones throughout. Harris’ spokesman, Brian Fallon, has called out Trump’s camp for wanting a muted microphone, suggesting they doubt their candidate’s ability to maintain a presidential demeanor.
The negotiations are ongoing, with both sides accusing each other of trying to game the system to their advantage. As the debate approaches, the excitement and tension continue to mount.
Stay tuned for updates on this high-profile debate that could have a significant impact on the upcoming elections.
