Harris now leads Trump in several battleground states, new polls show

Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted the rules set forth for next week's debate with former President Donald Trump, although the Democratic nominee says the decision not to keep both candidates' microphones live throughout the matchup will be to her disadvantage.

The development, which came Wednesday by way of a letter from Harris' campaign to host network ABC News, seemed to mark a conclusion to the debate over microphone muting, which had for a time threatened to derail the Sept. 10 presidential debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Harris’ acceptance of the debate rules came as Trump — using a night he had proposed as a debate with Harris on Fox News Channel — instead participated in a solo town hall with host Sean Hannity in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a version of debate preparation with a longtime ally who queried him about his plans to take on the Democratic nominee.

President Joe Biden’s campaign had made the muting of microphones, except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak, a condition of his decision to accept any debates this year. Some aides have said they now regret that decision, saying voters were shielded from hearing Trump’s outbursts during the June debate. A disastrous performance for the incumbent Democrat fueled his exit from the campaign. #Politics #News

Who is getting these poll questions? I'm 63 and have never been polled, and don't know of anyone who has said they were polled...

[dienomo]

I see a lot of other pollsters saying just the opposite. Somebody is lying!

How do you calculate a tax% on an asset you technically don't own yet? Anyone know? VP Harris said that is one of her key economic plans.

Remember, her solution to combat high grocery prices was to stop feeding your children breakfast.

KAMALA quips: "I think we can become unburdened by what has been. Space is all around us. It surrounds us all and unites us all. Ukraine is a country in Europe. Russia is also a country in Europe. Russia is very big, but it invaded Ukraine, and that's not nice."
