The campaigns of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris clashed over the upcoming presidential debate, with Trump threatening to pull out of the event due to concerns of bias from the ABC network. Harris’s team wanted open microphones during the debate to counter Trump’s lies and interruptions, while Trump preferred to keep his microphone on throughout the event. The dispute over microphone rules raised questions about the fairness and transparency of the debate format. Trump indicated minimal preparation for the debate, citing his lifetime of knowledge as sufficient preparation. ABC, the proposed host of the debate, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Harris, who secured the Democratic nomination after Biden stepped aside, was scheduled to debate Trump on September 10, but the dispute over microphone rules may impact the event. The vice presidential candidates are set to debate on October 1 on CBS News. The clash between the two campaigns highlights the high-stakes nature of the upcoming debates and the intense scrutiny surrounding the candidates’ performances.
