Why Trump, Harris campaigns are disputing over ABC debate mute button

Former President Donald Trump's campaign is casting doubt on his ABC debate participation over a dispute with Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign on the use of a microphone mute. CBS News political director Fin Gomez reports. Also, Jeff Amy, a Georgia politics writer for the Associated Press, joins CBS News with more on the state's voting ballot.

The last debate worked really well with the mute (we the people) want the answers not the bickering

[segabella]

Is it true that kamala wants to additionally change the rules by using notes during debate?

[shawntalley]

How about so live fact checking! I am so sick of hearing a relentless regurgitation of lies in a debate.

[dingus]

Harris wants to do the "excuse me, excuse me, I am talking" schtick.

[memphisslimbo]

If CBS would tell the truth, THAT would be news.

[lw]

I bet she won't debate him at all.

[RyanLopez-dpvs]

Let him talk, he is his worst enemy. Spewing nonsense and lies !! Fact check immediately.

The border czar also wants to be allowed to bring notes to the debate.

[NormaRodriguez-jsmw]

Lies…. Trump said he would debate with either muted mics or not muted…either way is fine with him. Why aren’t you talking about the fact that Kamala refused to do the debate on MSNBC, CBS, Fox News and even CNN. Why aren’t you discussing that, and the fact that Kamala has a bestie on ABC.

The rules were set and now she wants to change the rules. NO!

[christianedwards]

They should hold it at a high school or something, invite all the media, no audience, and hire a third party, non-media related moderator

[mommalor]

They both agreed to closed mics! And now 15 days out she's changing the rules!

[lindasamuels]

Please Harris team…..ain’t nobody got time for this foolishness

[harpo]

Harris wants to be able to use the "I'm talking" line she used against Pence..pathetic! #Trump2024

[Doctorbig]

WE Americans are DEMANDING WILLIE BROWN ASK the QUESTIONS at the Presidential Debaye

[robertjohnson]

At first the Harris campaign was saying you committed to this debate to avoid Fox News and now it's oooo no we need to change the rules

[STapia-hfvp]

Was Donna Brasille involved? Remember she gave the questions to Hillary before the debate! WTF

[safetychamp]

It’s hilarious. They agreed to the same rules. Now Kamala wants to change it. Talk about weird! Idk why we’re framing it as a back and forth. Kamala is the one who’s trying to change the rules because the last debate went so poorly for them.

[lincolnjohnson]

Why is our current government not at Arlington Cemetery? Shame.

[mydixierekt]

They seemed to leave out Donna Brasil works at ABC....the same person who gave Clinton the questions ahead of time.
