ABC News has firmly declined the Kamala Harris campaign’s request to keep microphones unmuted throughout the September 10th debate, adhering to previously established rules.
The Harris campaign's demand was part of a broader strategy to ensure that both candidates could speak freely, but ABC's adherence to muted microphones aims to maintain structured debate dynamics.
Oliver Darcy highlighted that ABC News reiterated that microphones will only be active for candidates when directly addressed by the moderators, limiting response opportunities.
Trump's campaign has consented to the muted rules which they believe reflect the debate format previously utilized, contrasting with the Harris campaign's desire for a more open dialogue.
