Trump, Harris campaigns clash over debate rules: 'We said no changes'

The Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns traded barbs Monday over debate rules Monday, with the former accusing the latter of playing "games" as Harris' team seeks to make microphones live throughout the event.

After Trump suggested in a Truth Social post that he might skip the ABC debate on Sept. 10 in Philadelphia, spokesman Jason Miller said the Harris campaign was trying to change the set-up of the debate that had already been laid out.

"Enough with the games," Trump spokesperson Jason Miller told Fox News Digital in a statement. "We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate."

Doesn’t serve any purpose?

Huh! The last one got rid of Joe Biden.

since she has no intenton of sharing her Leftie intentions and the media enables her, DJT does need at least a one-time national airing of it. he’ll need to pivot from every gotcha question to one of his top ten points to do so.

I was being sarcastic. But I couldn’t disagree more that no votes will change. As with the first debate, there will be a huge audience. Per poll last week, even 70% of her own supporters don’t know what her policy positions are. Hearing her ramble will open at least some people’s eyes. That’s why she now wants notes in the podium

Sassy black woman: “I’M speaking!” What Obama wants is a repeat of 2020 when Chris Wallace pretended to be God while lying.

Chauncey Gardener makes Kamala Harris look like a dangerous idiot. The unelected permanent government loves idiots it knows well. They are 100% controllable at all times.

Idiots they don't know so well scare them. Especially brain damaged ones like John Fetterman. He appeared to be so stupid they ignored him until he has begun to regain his brain. Now they are a bit unsettled about his future.

the press is going gaga over this declaring Trump is trying to chicken out of debating Trump.

Appears the truth is the other way around.

One obvious problem here: these are not actual debates, they are question and answer stunts with all the questions from the so called moderator. There is no back and forth and the candidate can’t pose questions to the other to answer, so it’s not a debate. I believe Trump should insist on 3 real debates or nothing.

President Trump's retort should be simply this:

"No, you're saying a lot of words that make no sense."

With Biden that was an anomoly. That usually doesn’t happen. Harris is a dope but they will have her wired and the mods will be there to cover her arse.

He needs to bring a bottle of ranch dressing for every time Harris devolves into a word salad

Honestly, im leaning towards this not mattering at all. It will not expose her because the media WILL cover for her and set the narrative no matter what. Stop playing to the national media. Trump did a huge interview with Musk, adin Ross, theo von and Bryson. All had huge viewership and all greatly positive. What is the evidence that “owning the news cycle” on abc, nbc etc is really that important. It’s all negative whether he owns it or not.

“President Trump’s retort should be simply this:

“No, you’re saying a lot of words that make no sense.””

Harris only has two modes of speech. Mindless blathering and scripted blathering. Neither of which could be conveyed as “speaking”.

The trouble with "nothing" is that voters won't see Kamala trying to think for herself. They will see Kamala reading.

Kommiela is supposedly doing a TV interview before the debate. Trump needs to cool down and see how much damage she does to herself, then decide if he wants to debate her.

I don’t like the idea of President Trump getting on the same stage with a Jamaican/Injun REFUGEE. She is not an American. She’s a boatload of bananas.

More people need to be exposed to the ho for what she is.

She just wants to say “Excuse me, I’m speaking,” over and over again.

I think some undecided voters can watch Kamala perform and learn. It’s harder to convince them when she is just reading.

“The Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns traded barbs Monday over debate rules Monday...”

I can’t tell from the stellar ‘reporting.’ Did this happen Monday?
