As both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump gear up to face off on Sept. 10 in a debate hosted by ABC News, the campaigns are in a disagreement over whether microphones will be muted while the candidate is not speaking, according to multiple media reports.
The first debate of the 2024 presidential cycle, hosted by CNN on June 27, used muted microphones, rules which were mutually agreed upon at the time between President Joe Biden and Trump’s campaign. The Harris campaign is now looking to renegotiate said rules, looking for microphones to be hot during the entire ABC News debate.
