With two weeks to go until the first presidential debate between incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, tensions are already running high. The latest point of contention between the two camps? The issue of muting microphones during the debate.
According to sources close to both campaigns, Trump and Harris have been sparring over the possibility of having microphones muted during portions of the debate. Trump has expressed concerns that muting the microphones could be used to silence him or limit his ability to respond to Harris’s attacks. On the other hand, Harris’s team believes that muting microphones could prevent interruptions and ensure a more civil discourse.
The debate over muting microphones comes as both candidates are preparing for what is expected to be a highly contentious and closely watched debate. With the race tightening in key battleground states and the election just weeks away, the stakes are higher than ever for Trump and Harris.
As the two candidates continue to jockey for position and spar over the details of the upcoming debate, one thing is clear – this debate is shaping up to be one of the most critical moments of the campaign so far. Viewers will be eagerly awaiting to see how Trump and Harris navigate this latest challenge and what impact it will have on the rest of the campaign.
