Trump vs Harris Debate Will Have Muted Microphones

Both campaigns had previously agreed to debate, but the agreement appeared to be in jeopardy after Trump suggested he might back out and Harris’ team sought to change the rule on muted microphones.

Candidate microphones will be live only for the candidate whose turn it is to speak.

During a town hall with Fox News taped Wednesday, Trump said that he would let Harris talk during the debate. The former president also said that his approach to the debate will depend on how fair he perceives ABC News to be, but he noted that his strategy is to “sort of feel it out as the debate is taking place.”
