Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to debate Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, Sept. 10 on ABC News.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is waffling on whether he will debate as agreed to with Vice President Kamala Harris on ABC News next month.
This is a reversal of the campaigns' positions during the previous presidential debate, hosted by CNN in late June. Then-presumptive Democratic nominee President's campaign asked for — and got — the candidates' microphones turned on only when it was their turn to speak. The Trump campaign had wanted hot mics.
Harris campaign spokesman Brian Fallon, in a statement, said,"We have told ABC and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates' mics should be live throughout the full broadcast." "We suspect Trump's team has not even told their boss about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit they don't think he can handle himself against Vice President Harris without the benefit of a mute button. The Vice President is ready to deal with Trump's constant lies and interruptions in real time. Trump should stop hiding behind the mute button."
