Former President Donald Trump expressed his intention to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to speak during their upcoming debate. During a town hall event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trump mentioned his approach of letting his opponent talk, similar to his strategy during the debate with President Biden. He emphasized the importance of fairness in the debate and hoped that ABC, the host of the event, would ensure a fair platform for both candidates.
ABC News has officially announced the rules for the debate, with a key provision being that microphones will be muted while one candidate is speaking. Trump revealed that there were discussions about Harris' team requesting notes and a desk, which he opposed. However, the debate format finalized by ABC News mandates that notes are not allowed, and both candidates will stand behind podiums.
Trump also made an unsubstantiated claim that Harris' team might have access to the questions in advance, a statement that has not been verified. The debate is set to take place next week, and both candidates have agreed to the established rules and format.
