Why Kamala Harris campaign is fighting for unmuted debate mics | BBC News

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are set to square off in their first presidential debate next month, but the campaigns are still warring over logistics - namely relating to the microphones.

Trump's campaign is pushing for the microphones to be muted when it is the other person's turn to speak. This is a rule that was originally requested by Joe Biden when he was the Democratic candidate.

Trump's team ultimately agreed to the request - which was an apparent effort by Biden's campaign to limit interruptions.

The Harris campaign wants to shift the agreed rules with just two weeks to go so that both candidates' microphones will be unmuted for the entire debate.

I watch Trump all the time... he is not at odds with his own team. Thats a lie

[James-thnm]

She did nothing at the convention 😂 😂 she read from a teleprompter and hasn’t done one single interview (even from a biased outlet like YOUSE) and it’s not a pressing issue but every man and his dog is asking why she hasn’t done one.

[blackdeathgaming]

Meanwhile, she won’t agree to doing three debates. She’s a coward.

[aryandixit]

Mics should be muted so that the debate is fought on the issues and not a sympathy show for Kamala where all she has to say is I’m speaking.

[vikroy]

Oh you get a CLINTON advisor to explain the issue WHAT do you think you are playing at BBC PROPAGANDA

[angelafarnell]

She insisted that Sept 10 should remain to be the debate date. Rules should remain the same as well, instead of bending to her whims.

[onlycryptos]

She wants it on because she knows Trump will do most of the talking then she does not have to say much

The buzz now is Kamala is going to be a NO SHOW for the Trump / Harris debate.

Your intro is backwards.

Kamala has been using President Trumps ideas and talking about the same things Trump has been saying for years.

If she cared about our country she would have done these things 4 years ago.

NOW she's talking like Donald Trump!

But she won't do what she promises.

Not a snowballs chance in hell.

When people teach us who they are we should BELIEVE them.

😂 I’ve heard bunch of desperate narratives after Kamala’s disastrous flip-flop interview, but this one takes the cake! 🍰 Annabel Denham really set the tone with facts while these 2 dems strategists tried hard to cover the damage Kamala did in the last 3.5 yrs.

So Americans can hear his uncontrollably behavior.

KAMALA is pure energy.
KAMALA is the light that dispels the darkness of America.
KAMALA will bring prosperity back to America.
KAMALA represents the dignity and freedom of American women, because women's votes matter.
KAMALA will bring prosperity to the American middle class, because the middle class is the heart that makes America live, because the vote of the American middle class matters.
KAMALA will bring the respect and dignity that the American black class deserves, because black people also built American history, because the black vote matters.
KAMALA will bring unity back to Americans, where both Republicans and Democrats will be brothers and not enemies, because the unity of Americans matters.
AMERICA WILL BE MUCH STRONGER IF IT HAS UNITY, FREEDOM AND LOVE.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Hey Trump! This time answer questions!

[Havre_Chithra]

The person who could be the first Black Woman to be president of America should be able to pick a reporter and do a LIVE interview on her own..

Instead, she needed help picking the reporter and she needs to bring a WHITE man 😂

[yasseryass-ul]

[markbrowns]

Vice presidents
Kamala Harrison wants to fight Donald Trump so bad she is willing to take it to the street She saying you debated President Biden, and he was all right with it. Why not me?

[davidcertain]

Extreme left? There is no left in the US. We have right wing and far right wing. Dems and Repubes are merely two factions of one party, the corporate party.
