Vice President Kamala Harris agreed to the final rules for the ABC News debate against former President Trump, allegedly following a few “assurances” from the network.
On Wednesday, ABC News released the official rules for Tuesday’s debate between Harris and Trump, including the hotly contested rule that microphones be muted while a candidate is speaking.
The Harris campaign repeatedly pushed back on this rule, attempting to goad Trump into backing out of the original agreement to mute mics, even refusing to sign off on the rules last week in an attempt to renegotiate.
CNN reported Wednesday that Harris accepted the rules after receiving separate “assurances” that mics could be turned on during the debate and the moderators would explain unheard exchanges.“ABC News has offered assurances to the Harris campaign that if there is significant cross talk between Harris and Trump, the network may choose to turn on the mics so that the public can understand what is happening, the moderator would discourage either candidate from interrupting constantly and the moderator would also work to explain to viewers what is being said, according to the source familiar,” CNN reported.
The source allegedly added that pool reporters will also be in the room to report on what could be heard while mics are muted to TV audiences.

She wants hot mics so she might be able to goad Trump into a situation in which she gets to say, “I’M TALKING!” as she did to Mike Pence ins 2020.

It only took 1 debate to blow Buyden out of the race, give them a reason to velvet coup the old crook. Everyone is pretty settled on whom they will vote for. Now we need an election that doesnt break any laws.
ABC won’t make the mistake CNN did and moderate the fairest debate any of the leftist outlets have presented in modern times. Kamala is the Alamo; the last stand. They CAN’T allow her to look bad, even though there is no possible way she won’t.
She’s desperately looking for a way out. She has to go into seclusion for 4 weeks just to study her own administration. She is going to get her illiterate ass kicked and she knows it. Even when all the Ministry of Propaganda declares her the winner, probably before the debate begins, the people will see what they see.
