ABC News released the rules for next week’s presidential debate between Trump and Kamala Harris.
According to ABC, both Trump and Harris agreed to the rules.
The debate is scheduled for September 10.
The Debate Rules per ABC News:
The debate will last 90 minutes with two commercial breaks
The two seated moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, will be the only people asking questions
A coin flip was held virtually on September 3 to determine podium placements and order of closing arguments; Trump won the coin toss and chose to select the order of statements. He will offer the last closing statement, and Harris selected the right podium on screen (stage left)
Candidates will be introduced by moderators
Candidates will enter upon introduction from opposite sides of the stage; the incumbent party will be introduced first
There will be no opening statements; closing statements will be two minutes per candidate
Candidates will stand behind the podiums for the duration of the debate
Props or prewritten notes are not allowed onstage
No topics or questions will be shared in advance
Candidates will be given a pen, a pad of paper, and a bottle of water
Candidates will have two minutes to answer questions, two minutes for rebuttals, and one extra minute for follow-ups, clarifications, or responses
Candidates’ microphones will be live only for the candidate whose turn it is to speak and muted when the time belongs to another candidate
Candidates will not be permitted to ask questions of each other
Campaign staff may not interact with candidates during commercial breaks
Moderators will seek to enforce timing agreements and ensure a civilized discussion
There will be audience in the room
The Harris campaign last Monday requested both candidates’ mics be unmuted for the entire 90-minute debate.

A debate between Trump and Harris and two Democrats pretending to be journalists.
Based on Karamello's recent comments, she assumes Trump is the incumbent, so did she agreee that Trump will be introduced first?
From CNN -— “The network’s rules also state that there will be no audience,”. Does the GP article contain a typo?
This is a weasel move and it won't help. That little childish tactic can be overcome.☺
“Props or prewritten notes are not allowed onstage
No topics or questions will be shared in advance”
Yeah, I’ll hold my breath for that
Here is atleast one thing I hope President Trump refers to
Americans are hard working, generous, kind people who have had to work harder, longer in order to pay the higher gas prices, higher grocery costs, and higher taxes and insurance. We have seen our communities overrun with illegals, homeless, trash everywhere and safety of our people put at risk with Americans being murdered in NY, Atlanta, California, etc. Law and Order need to take priority and Trumpmis the guy to make it happen.
No truer words have been spoken. I think that site is a psyop to make “conservative journalism” look like blithering idiots.
“Why ABC is on board I’ll never know”
Because Trump has a 100 million dollar lawsuit against them and playing it straight will save them some aggravation, especially if they screw Trump and he wins the election.
“Does the GP article contain a typo?”
nope, they repeated that false statement twice ... just the normal carelessness, stupidity and ignorance at GP ...
“The ABC website says there will be NO audience.”
as do dozens of others ... GP is full of shite as usual ...
I still won’t be surprised if this thing is cancelled (Fauci Flu; can’t debate a “criminal”; too busy as president following a second coup ...) The Democrat/Communist Party leaders must be schifting their panties over the idea of allowing Harris to speak freely.
Would Democrats even accept that fraud if they decided to dump Kamala at the last minute? What then happens to Walz? Does he go too?
We’re talking dems here. The sky is the limit and the media is their propaganda mouthpiece. Nothing is off limits, absolutely nothing. They need to hold power to cover their crimes and finish remaking America. See how easily they sidelined a sitting president? They shouldn’t be underestimated.
It’s a guarantee Commiela will have an ear piece.
Commiela’s body language & hesitation will make it all too obvious.
She will be prompted to answer questions through hidden ear pieces.
No topics or questions will be shared in advance.
Wink know what I mean know what I mean.
Harris her grin so big her ear lobes are wet.
