BREAKING ---- Kamala Harris Caves: ABC News Debate Rules Set with No Notes, No Open Mics
Breitbart ^ | September 3, 2024 | Wendell Husebo

Posted on 09/03/2024 11:04:31 AM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Vice President Kamala Harris’s attempt last week to suddenly change the ABC News debate rules miserably failed.

The Harris campaign caved on Tuesday and decided to go along with its previously agreed debate rules with no notes, no sitting, no audience, and no open mics, a senior Trump campaign aide told Breitbart News.

ABC News will virtually hold a coin toss to determine the order of closing arguments and podium positioning at 12:30 pm, the aide added.

The debate dispute goes back to when President Joe Biden was still in the race. Both candidates agreed on two debates (CNN on June 27 and ABC on September 10), with Biden insisting that microphones “be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak,” CNN reported on June 15.

Harris then joined the race. Two weeks ago, both the Trump and Harris campaigns had ABC News’s debate rules in writing and both sides confirmed to the network the debate was a “go,” the Trump ally told Breitbart News.

To apparently avoid too much media attention on the anniversary of the deadly Afghan withdrawal in the coming week, the Harris campaign suddenly requested that ABC News and other networks unmute candidates’ microphones, an idea Trump continued to oppose.

Each candidate should be checked for earpieces by one person of the opposite party. I can bet that Trump would be fine with this, but Kamala would squeal like a stuck pig.

ABC corporate attorneys sent both campaigns a letter that said the rules would be the original rules, set in stone, and there would be NO changes ... kamala had only two options: back out of the debate or debate under the original rules ... period ...

I seem to recall that on the day of the Afghan bombing anniversary, The Five led with the debate dispute story instead, and only eventually got around to Trump at Arlington and the anniversary, so it worked as a diversion at least on that show.

A total general strike across the entire country for 3 days would wake up ALOT of people.

MORE days added it necessary.

” while evils are sufferable”... until they are insufferable.

I see her doing the debate to cover the fact they will cheat like H-ll.

If she didn’t do debate and they cheat her in like Biden in the basement it would look real obvious again.

Her on the campaign trail and debating makes it look “normal” as they start making up huge amounts of Harris ballots ready to scan.

“’Donald , I’m speaking’? that’s all she wanted the open mic for”

Exactly. She can still make faces. And I hope she does.
