"ABC News has offered assurances to the Harris campaign that if there is significant cross talk between Harris and Trump, the network may choose to turn on the mics so that the public can understand what is happening, the moderator would discourage either candidate from interrupting constantly and the moderator would also work to explain to viewers what is being said, according to the source familiar," CNN reported.

The source allegedly added that pool reporters will also be in the room to report on what could be heard while mics are muted to TV audiences.

So the agreement was that the mics will be muted when the other candidate is talking...but ABC can still turn them on if they want???

Haha I already said they would have an equipment malfunction.

Mam if I were Trump seeing all this I would be as quiet as a church mouse when sh was talking. But making those trump faces so much my face would hurt after.

Hopefully Donald sees this and just ruins her evening by not talking I know it goes against every instinct he has but it's all he needs to do is not to talk while she's blabbering

But if she were to say to him excuse me I'm talking i'm talking and even the moderator were to say madam Vice President Mr Trump did not say anything


it would be the moment

I can already see how thus is going to go. They're gonna set this thing up to get Kamala all of the soundbytes, and they're gonna report that Trump said things that he didn't say.

"I'm speaking"

She can't wait to say it.

Let her talk, but require her to talk in her Detroit accent

He surprisingly did a pretty good job of this in the debate with Biden.

Agreed that all Trump needs to do is not talk while she's talking, but it may be just to tempting for him.

His people just need to remind him right before he walks out that they are going to goad him into interrupting her, and will flip on his mic and make it seem like he's assaulting her (verbally).

Her entire fricking campaign centers around her being able to say "duhh, imma speekin". Idiocracy at its finest.

Imagine being so devoid of a platform to actually try and get people to vote for, you’re instead reduced to doing everything you can to hopefully get the other guy to interrupt you.

The hand selected mods from ABC? They are not going to help Trump in any way. They will do their absolute best to make Harris look as though she has an IQ above 80. ABC is thinking of every means necessary to make Harris look good, no doubt.

Why do the debates always have to be molded around what the Dem candidate wants? Rhetorical question I guess but it'd be nice to hear someone blast them for this

Agreed 1000% Owlie, if he was smart he would let that idiot Harris just continue ramble until she tires herself.

She wants the "excuse me I am speaking" line.
