Kamala Harris Caves: ABC News Debate Rules Set with No Notes, No Open Mics

Wendell Husebø 3 Sep 2024

Vice President Kamala Harris’s attempt last week to suddenly change the ABC News debate rules miserably failed.

The Harris campaign caved on Tuesday and decided to go along with its previously agreed debate rules with no notes, no sitting, no audience, and no open mics, a senior Trump campaign aide told Breitbart News.

ABC News will virtually hold a coin toss to determine the order of closing arguments and podium positioning at 12:30 pm, the aide added.

The debate dispute goes back to when President Joe Biden was still in the race. Both candidates agreed on two debates (CNN on June 27 and ABC on September 10), with Biden insisting that microphones “be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak,” CNN reported on June 15.

Harris then joined the race. Two weeks ago, both the Trump and Harris campaigns had ABC News’s debate rules in writing and both sides confirmed to the network the debate was a “go,” the Trump ally told Breitbart News.

To apparently avoid too much media attention on the anniversary of the deadly Afghan withdrawal in the coming week, the Harris campaign suddenly requested that ABC News and other networks unmute candidates’ microphones, an idea Trump continued to oppose.

“I have reached an agreement with the Radical Left Democrats for a Debate with Comrade Kamala Harris. It will be Broadcast Live on ABC FAKE NEWS, by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business, on Tuesday, September 10th, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,” Trump said last week.

The Harris campaign, however, continued to play games with debate rules on Wednesday, refusing to agree on muted microphones at the September 10 debate. ABC News then pushed back on Thursday and rejected Harris’s last-minute attempt to change the mic rules.

One person familiar with Harris’s negotiations told Politico Playbook that Harris wants an unmuted mic to save her from gaffes.

“She’s more than happy to have exchanges with him if he tries to interrupt her,” the person said. “And given how shook he seems by her, he’s very prone to having intemperate outbursts and … I think the campaign would want viewers to hear [that].”

More is here on Harris’s word salads.

She will get COVID this weekend.

I think it's a safe bet that we will find out months from now that Harris knew what the questions would be before the debate.

She is going to "win" the debate and the media will assure us the campaign is over. However, once again they will be wrong.

Trump will win in a landslide!
We have a beach head. Now it's time to win the war and save the Republic.

will be a little surprised if she goes through with it as well, she doesn't seem to want to be out there, even with her lapdog media. I have seen Kamala debate before, she is overrated and comes off as arrogant and unlikable with her busing bs and her "I'm talking here" thing.  If she goes through with it, it's going to be funny to see the expressions on Trump's face aa well as her reaction to Trump's blather.

The election is breaking to Orange Man and she'll have to perform a miracle to stop it at this point. Don't think she has it.

Trump Prepares For Debate Against Kamala By Going To Bar And Arguing With Drunks
Politics · Sep 5, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

Quote
ORLANDO, FL — Sources close to Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump report that the former president is preparing for his upcoming debate with Kamala Harris as realistically as possible: by going to wine bars and arguing with drunk people.

"Yes, it's true, I did come up with this great way to practice for Kamala," Trump explained to several staffers. "I thought to myself, 'Donald, where would Kamala Harris most like to be in the world, do you think?' I kid you not — and I thought, and let me tell you, folks, she'd love to be at a wine bar. I keep expecting her any day, honestly. Very good practice, arguing with drunks. I'm looking forward to the debate, believe me!"

Trump has stated that "it's over-preparing, honestly," as there's no chance that Kamala will have had anything less than seven shots of Jack Daniels before she steps on stage. ...
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

The Dems must have gotten all those earpiece-mike bugs worked out.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
