ABC’s debate rules: muted mics for silent candidates.

The Rules for the Vice Presidential Debate Between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Are Set

In the upcoming debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, certain rules have been laid out to ensure a fair and orderly exchange of ideas. The host network, ABC News, has shared these rules with both campaigns, setting the stage for a heated but controlled debate.

Some of the key rules include no live audience, muted microphones when candidates aren’t speaking, and a prohibition on written notes. These guidelines aim to prevent interruptions and maintain focus on the issues at hand. The debate is scheduled for September 10 and is expected to be the only face-off between Harris and Trump before the November general election.

There has been some debate over the rules, particularly regarding the muting of microphones. Harris’ campaign requested live microphones throughout the debate to allow for substantive exchanges, while Trump’s team preferred muted microphones. Ultimately, ABC News has decided to mute the microphones between turns speaking to maintain order and fairness.

The candidates will stand behind lecterns and will not make opening statements. They are also not allowed to bring notes during the 90-minute debate. Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis will lead the event at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

As the date of the debate approaches, tensions are running high, and both campaigns are gearing up for a crucial showdown. It remains to be seen how the candidates will perform under these strict rules and whether they will be able to sway voters with their arguments and ideas.

Stay tuned for more updates on the debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as the election season heats up.
