The upcoming presidential debate on September 10 between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will follow specific rules, including muted microphones when a candidate is not speaking. Harris' campaign has accepted these rules but raised concerns that the format may disadvantage her by limiting direct exchanges with Trump. Despite her objections, the campaign agreed to the terms to ensure Trump does not withdraw from the debate, citing his prior threats to do so. Trump has already accepted the debate rules, which were established by ABC News, and will include no audience and two-minute responses for each question. Harris has expressed a desire for the mics to remain unmuted to allow for more spontaneous interactions. As the debate approaches, the dynamics between the two candidates are intensifying, with Harris gaining support in some national polls since taking over the Democratic ticket.
