ABC News has declined to adopt Vice President Kamala Harris’ request to have wholly unmuted microphones during her Sept. 10 debate with former President Donald Trump — after days of wrangling over what Republicans viewed as Democratic attempts to lay a trap for the GOP nominee.
A network email reviewed by The Post lays out similar rules as those for Trump’s June 27 CNN debate against President Biden — including no audience, no pre-written notes or props and muted mics when a candidate is not speaking.
Trump and Harris will be standing on stage and will only be allowed to have a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water.

She desperately wants to drop her "excuse me, I'm speaking" line so the media can fangirl over it.
@BlissfulMonkeyVeteran2yrs2Y
She just wanted to say “I’m speaking” repeatedly because that’s literally all she’s got.
@BipartisanSquirrel2yrs2Y
No “I’m speaking” moment for her. That’s all she has!
I just hope she brings up school buses and how she thinks 18-25 y/o’s are stupid!
@KingdomDaveDemocrat2yrs2Y
no she wants to show the cult how unhinged he is and how he treats women. You saw how he followed Hillary around like a lost puppy.
@CoatiArielVeteran2yrs2Y
I hope Trump brings up injecting disinfectant, shining light inside our bodies, windmill cancer, nuking hurricanes, Fredrick Douglas current achievements, Revolution war airports, his Michigan Man of the Year award…
@ChowderAutumnRepublican2yrs2Y
ABC has to appear to look fair as they promised they would be. However what are the chances they will hand her the questions, if they haven't already, in advance? We don't know what goes on behind the scenes.
