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

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.

Juan is a crusader for the cause with delusions of grandeur. He will do it as his contribution to the cause, whatever that may be. He will do it to secure his place in history glorifying himself. He is also nuttier than squirrel turds. You can see it in his eyes alone. Don’t doubt me on this.

Well said. The time for honoring themselves above the rule of law must come to an end. “Don’t doubt me.” I miss Rush.
