The matter was still up for discussion over the weekend, when Harris renewed her challenge to Trump to agree to change the rules to allow for hot mics. “The memo sent by ABC is a draft set of rules that both campaigns need to sign off on and indicate agreement,” Harris spokesperson Brian Fallon said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “We have not done so because we think both candidates have expressed a clear desire to have hot mics. Not clear why Trump staff is overruling their principal, who should be capable of making up his own mind.
Some observers have credited Trump’s microphone being turned off after his time ran out during the June debate with Biden for a more disciplined approach. Rather than speaking over and interrupting Biden, Trump was forced to let the president try to formulate answers and responses to his attacks.
