Get ready for an epic showdown as Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump gear up for their upcoming debate next month. Hosted by ABC News, the rules for the debate have been set and it’s going to be intense.
With no audience, muted microphones when candidates aren’t speaking, and no written notes allowed, this debate promises to be a battle of wits and words. The parameters are similar to the previous debate between Trump and President Joe Biden, which led to significant consequences for the incumbent Democrat.
There has been some back-and-forth over the debate rules, particularly regarding the muting of microphones. Harris’ campaign has been pushing for live microphones throughout the debate to allow for substantive exchanges, while Trump’s team has insisted on muting him, despite his objections.
ABC News has confirmed that the debate will take place on September 10th at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, with David Muir and Linsey Davis moderating the event. It’s bound to be a riveting 90 minutes of political discourse and confrontation.
