Harris And Trump Debate Showdown Looms

In a highly anticipated showdown, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are at odds over the rules for their upcoming debate scheduled for September 10. The dispute centers around a rule that muted candidates' microphones when it was not their turn to speak, a measure put in place during the 2020 debates to prevent interruptions.

Harris, known for her memorable line 'Mr. Vice President, I’m speaking' during a previous debate, is eager to give Trump the opportunity to speak freely, potentially allowing him to sabotage himself with interruptions or an overbearing personality.
