Debat Kamala Harris Trump: Trump Highlights New Debate Rules
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced on Truth Social that he has reached an agreement to participate in a September 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, noting that the rules will be the same as the last CNN debate, which seemed to work out well for everyone.
Important Details about the Debate
- The rules will largely mirror the terms used by CNN for its June 27 debate.
- Microphones will be muted as the other candidate speaks.
- No studio audience will be present.
A person familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN that Trump's team wanted the microphones muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak, as was the case in June. Although Trump recently suggested a preference for live microphones, the rules appear finalized.
The 90-minute debate will include two commercial breaks with campaign staff prohibited from interacting with candidates during that time. No props or pre-written notes will be allowed on stage; however, candidates will be provided with a pen, a pad of paper, and a bottle of water.
Despite the agreement, Trump indicated that discussions are still ongoing. He mentioned that Harris had declined a September 4 interview on Fox News but would keep the date open in case she changes her mind.
Trump teased a potential third debate with NBC News, which, as he stated, Harris's campaign has yet to accept.
