Question lingers ahead of Trump-Harris debate: Will mics be muted?

The campaigns of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are arguing in advance of their high-stakes Sept. 10 debate over whether microphones should be muted except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak.

I prefer the muted mics, it’s too distracting when they speak over each other!

[adamrussell]

Muted mics is just enforcing the normal debate rules. You arent allowed to speak until its your turn to speak.

They gloat about Afghanistan like they did something good. The carelessness and little preparation time to exit got so many people killed.

[MereAYT]

Let third party candidates onto the stage to give the debate some genuine range of discussion. It is shameful that only two of the parties may participate.

Fun fact: I’m a Democrat voting t.r.u.m.p

[spvision]

To shut or not to shut his obnoxious mouth…. That is the question

[Tubalcain]

Harris is like that player on Family Feud. She says stupid stuff but the Democratic family all shout, “Good Answer! Good Answer!”

[marcreynolds]

she isn't qualified to debate a president!

[Wonkothesane-szoy]

If it looks like a chicken and clucks like a chicken...

[joansmit]

Yes! Mute the mikes…don’t need to hear donOLD’s stream of dementia comments.

Mics muted? what do we live in a FKING TV?

[redjetsen]

When two air signs, Gemini and Libra argue, there will be nothing but hot air.

[workingbum]

I wanna see a debate where trump actually answers questions when asked. Or a debate where trump isn't present.

[cup_and_cone]

Hope they mute the mics so we can't hear Heels Up Harris' incoherent cackling when Trump calls her out.

[drozd]

muted?? wtf are these candidates gonna do for American people?? anyone??

[happilife]

Just make sure Kamala is not bringing notes in the podium. No cheat sheets.

Trump needs this debate to get his message out to undecided voters. 43% of people identify as Independent.
