"Donald Trump announced for a second time that he would participate in a presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News and suggested that the question of whether microphones will be muted when a candidate isn’t speaking had been resolved."

according to Trump, the issue has been resolved.

But, according to Harris' handlers, it hasn't.

"But a person briefed on the Harris campaign’s thinking said the issue of whether the microphones will be muted — something the Trump team favors and the Harris team does not — remains an open discussion."

and idiots on here claim it's Trump trying to back out?

No. Trump is just doing what he did when he ran like a little bitch to Fox and said there were debates scheduled that nobody else had agreed to. He's trying to head everyone off at the pass and hoping the bluff will get enough support.
He clearly doesn't want the open mic. For obvious reasons.

Open mics(their idea) are bad now. The DNC has spoken..
Fuckin cult

Trump won't care if the mics are muted or not.

All he has to do is refer to the unaffordable price of groceries under Biden/Harris for every question asked of him and he wins.

Why is Kamalala reneging on her agreement? Why doesn't she agree to more debates? Why doesn't Walz agree to more debates?

What's wrong with your candidates? Why do they run so much from being transparent? And why in the world do you support people who are so unwilling to be asked questions?

Facts are not on your side -- yet again:

Former President Donald Trump appeared to undercut his campaign’s efforts to keep the same rules in place for his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris next month.

Trump’s team, according to a source familiar with the matter, would like for the microphones to be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak, as was the case during the first debate with President Joe Biden.

But while Trump took aim at what he called the “biased” network Sunday evening – complaining about reporter Jonathan Karl and a panel of “Trump Haters” on his Truth Social platform – he said Monday that he would prefer the mics to stay on.

Trump himself said last week that he would prefer the mics to stay on.

Trump appears to undercut his campaign’s efforts over microphone rules at debate

(CNN) — Former President Donald Trump appeared to undercut his campaign’s efforts to keep the same rules in place for his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris next month.

www.wkow.com

The Harris campaign, for its part, is requesting that ABC and other networks seeking to host a potential October debate keep microphones on, according to a senior campaign official, marking a change from the June debate when the then-Biden campaign wanted microphones muted except when it was a candidate’s turn to speak.

“We have told ABC and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates’ mics should be live throughout the full broadcast,” Brian Fallon, the Harris campaign’s senior adviser for communications, said in a statement.

“Our understanding is that Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own. We suspect Trump’s team has not even told their boss about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit they don’t think he can handle himself against Vice President Harris without the benefit of a mute button,” he said.

Trump’s campaign has argued that when they agreed to the ABC debate with Harris at the top of the ticket, they were agreeing to the same guidelines of the previous debate.

Again, I'm not sure why you people are trying desperately to turn this around. She isn't reneging. She is actually giving Trump something he wanted when he ran to Fox and "scheduled" his non-existent, agreed to debates.
It seems like you are trying to find any reason for your savior to back out of debating. An open mic ensures transparency. And I would think you'd be thrilled. Trump can now be Trump.

The real question here is...what are you and Trump's campaign afraid of? I know. Do you?

Are those Kamala's flip flops dude?

I see they're commie red.

Boy, you walked into that one.........................

 

[buckeye]

She isn't reneging.

Why is she now demanding a live mic? That wasn't part of the Biden agreement. Kamalala is reneging.

She is actually giving Trump something he wanted when he ran to Fox and "scheduled" his non-existent, agreed to debates.

Why is Kamalala so afraid of more than one debate? The networks agreed and the people want them. Kamalala refuses to sit down with media on her own and answer questions. It's reminiscent of Soviet style politics.

It seems like you are trying to find any reason for your savior to back out of debating.

Jack....Trump is not the one asking for rule changes. Please get this thru your cult molded head.

Do you?

The only thing I'm afraid of is democrats gaining more control and us losing more of our civil liberties, WWIII starting and our economy falling down a cliff.

None of you have still answered the question of why you're complaining over the open mic request?
You should be thrilled. Especially if you think she has to have someone else to explain things for her.

What could you possibly have to be worried about?

and you haven't answered why she needs to change the format from the earlier debate.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

LOL. She's asking for the mics to be turned on. Not a change in venue (Trump), not a change in network (Trump), or to have a live studio audience (Trump).
Trump requested an open mic when he ran to Fox. Harris is giving it to him.

Again...answer the question please.

What..are..you..afraid..of?

ain't real bright, are you?

the debate was set up under the same rules as the last one. kammie wants to change the format.

why?

The answer is, she wants to give Trump a chance to stick his foot in his mouth. Which he will do. Because the man can't talk about policy...period.
It's a brilliant ask. Which Trump actually wanted in his running like a bitch to Fox.

This is half of what Trump wanted.....So..what..are..you..afraid..of?
You should be thrilled.

so instead of debating, she's opting for a 'gotcha' moment.

does she really need a 'gotcha' moment to beat trump?

can't she beat him on policy?
