The September 10 presidential debate will feature muted mics, ABC News announced Thursday, rejecting Vice President Kamala Harris’s last-minute attempt to change the rules.

“At this point, Team Harris is going to be taking an ‘L’ when they finally accept, as the debate rules aren’t changing, or they’ll take an even bigger ‘L’ if they back out of the debate because the Dana Bash/CNN interview goes poorly,” a top Trump ally told Breitbart News. Harris then joined the race. Last week, both the Trump and Harris campaigns had ABC News’s debate rules in writing and both sides confirmed to the network the debate was a “go,” the Trump ally said.

To apparently avoid too much media attention on the anniversary of the deadly Afghan withdrawal in the coming week, the Harris campaign requested on Sunday that ABC News and other networks unmute candidates’ microphones, an idea Trump continued to oppose on Tuesday.
