CNN rules for first US presidential debate: no props, muted microphones
WASHINGTON - The first U.S. presidential debate between incumbent Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump on June 27 will include two commercial breaks, no props and muted microphones except when recognized to speak, CNN said Saturday.
"Microphones will be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak," CNN said.During the two commercial breaks, campaign staff may not interact with their candidate, and there will be no studio audience. Debates, which will draw a U.S. live television audience in the tens of millions, are fraught with risks for both candidates, who face a close race.
