ABC News Won’t Bend to Harris Debate Demand
Finally, someone is standing up to the Democrat demands.
This is bad news for Kamala Harris, who was trying to change the rules that Joe Biden had set for the debate against Donald Trump.
Ironically, Harris is now trying to make Donald Trump sound weak for wanting to leave the rules in place that her boss insisted upon.
Set the Record Straight
So, let’s be clear about something right now.
All the rules that are in place for the upcoming ABC News debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were set by the Biden campaign.
Kamala Harris wanted to change the rules, specifically the muted microphone rule, just because she is hoping Trump will try to talk over her and she can cut him off like she did to then-Vice President Pence during their 2020 debate.
Trump has not caved, nor has ABC, so now Harris is calling the Trump position “weak. " But would that not actually be a Biden position since Joe was the one who put the demand in place.
Even so, Harris spokesperson Brian Fallon stated, “Our latest understanding is that even though Trump said Monday he would be fine with an unmuted mic, his handlers don’t trust him to spar live with VP Harris and are asking ABC to ignore Trump’s comments and keep the mics muted or else they will back out of the debate for a third time.
“We have been asked to accede to Trump’s handlers’ wishes on this point for the sake of preserving the debate.
“We find the Trump’s team’s stance to be weak, and remain in discussions with ABC on the final rules.”
Trump’s campaign immediately responded, “The Harris folks are completely full of it.
“Everything was agreed to and set last week.
“The Harris people are trying to distract and come up with something shiny to move away from the fact that she’s not doing interviews.”
After Harris’ mediocre CNN interview, everything will be riding on the upcoming debate with Trump, and with these rules, something tells me that Trump will not get a second shot at her.
He has to take her down in a monumental fashion to stop her momentum and to get the polling back in his favor.
