Joe Biden Praises Mic Muting as a ‘Good Idea’: ‘I Think There Should Be More Limitations on Us’Hannah Bleau 21 Oct 2020
Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden (D) praised the Commission on Presidential Debate’s (CPD) decision to mute the microphone of the opposing candidate at the start of each segment and added that he believes there should be “more limitations.â€
“So for the debate on Thursday, what do you think of this new muting the mic rule?†WISN’s Adrienne Pedersen asked Biden in a Tuesday interview.
“I think it’s a good idea. I think there should be more, more, limitations on us not interrupting one another,†Biden said, attributing his stance to what transpired during the first presidential debate.
“If you noticed last time, according to Chris Wallace, he interrupted the president and me 148 times. I think that’s right, he interrupted Mike, the president interrupted. Mike, I mean, excuse me, Chris Wallace and me 148 times,†Biden said, originally misstating his line.
“And so I hope he’s gonna come prepared to talk about what he’s for,†he continued, guessing that Trump will focus on what he described as “personal attacksâ€:
And he’s because he doesn’t want to talk about why he’s taking away healthcare at the very time we’re in the middle of a pandemic. Why he has no plan for health care. Why he hasn’t provided the money, allow businesses to have the ability to reopen, why he’s not dealing with unemployment, etcetera. But I’m going to try very hard to focus on the issues that affect the American people and talk to them, and I hope they keep the rule that uninterrupted two minutes answers.
