Former President Donald Trump recently discussed his upcoming debate with Vice President Kamala Harris during a town hall event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Trump expressed his intention to allow Harris to speak during the debate, citing a similar approach he took during his debate with President Biden. He emphasized the importance of fairness in the debate and expressed hope that the moderators would conduct the event impartially.
ABC News has officially announced the rules for the upcoming presidential debate between Harris and Trump. Both candidates have agreed to a format where microphones will be muted while the other candidate is speaking. Trump claimed that Harris' team had requested notes and a desk for the debate, but these requests were not granted as per the rules set by ABC News. The debate will feature the candidates standing behind podiums without the use of notes.
During the town hall, Trump also made an unsubstantiated claim that he had heard Harris' team would receive the debate questions in advance. However, there is no evidence to support this assertion. The rules established by ABC News aim to ensure a fair and balanced debate between the two candidates.
