Harris Campaign Rejects Trump’s Claim on Hot Mic Agreement for Upcoming Debate

Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign dismissed Donald Trump’s claim that both sides had agreed on muting microphones for the Sept. 10 debate, stating the terms remain unsettled with host network ABC. Trump had earlier announced that the debate would follow the same rules as his previous CNN debate, where no live audience and muted mics were in place. However, Harris’ team rejected this assertion, calling for open microphones throughout the debate to allow unfiltered exchanges. The controversy over “hot mics” highlights ongoing tensions between the campaigns, with Harris mocking Trump for allegedly backtracking on his stance. Negotiations with ABC continue as both candidates prepare for the high-stakes debate.
