The rules should be exactly the same as they were with his Biden debate. No notes, mikes off at end of time, no preview of questions, no ear pieces. It was civil, real, and even the moderators were balanced, courteous and fair.

If the rules were fine between Trump and Biden before, then they should be fine between Trump and Harris.

The mute button during the Trump/Biden debate was Bidens idea.

No democratic primary.
No press conferences or town halls.
No policies.
No responsibility for the current state of America.

Yay democracy 🥴🥴🥴

Anyone else notice gas prices are ever so slightly lowering as election day closes in?

[wendyhack]

The mute button should ALWAYS be in a debate! I don’t want to listen to them talk over each other! It’s annoying!

[chrischilton]

In all fairness the next debate should be on Fox since the last one was on CNN.

We should have standard debate rules that apply to every single presidential debate and a set number of debates they must participate in. This is supposed to be for the people.

[marshallfischer]

You're bias reporting is sickening... Just saying

[Mikie-forAll]

Trump just said ON CAMERA, that he prefers the mic ON. So, what's the deal now?

[tycobb]

Yo 😂😂😂 Harris and Joe were the ones who wanted all these rules put in place first. You can’t make this up 😂😂😂

[patrickduvall]

Any media outlet who walked away from RFK's recent speech and did not air the entire thing should not be allowed to participate in a presidential debate. We as Americans are tired of the lies and corruption. The media doesn't get to decide what information to cover and what to try and hide. That's wildly manipulative.

[michaelmohaske]

Stand, no notes, hot mics for both.. just shut up and debate. No mute buttons either

When abortion is your only platform, you have no platform.

[travisweathers]

They put rules on trump then blame him for the rules they set on him haha

[brianeminicrude]

Word Salad 🥗 Debate with some Salad Dressing lol

[xrpeople]

Ya will see who’s lying at the debate. One on abc and one on fox. No holds barred. Policy vs BS

[joealcamo]

WHY WASTE EVERYONES TIME! ALMOST EVERYONE KNOWS WHO THEY WILL VOTE FOR ALREADY!

[larsgrotke]

Just use the same rules as last time. The last one was perfectly fine

[TheUMIA]

Maybe, have moderators and rules that aren't biased and don't cater to either side. That would be nice.
This "story" sounds like the same one that ran before the 1st Debate.
