Trump Says He and Harris Agree to ABC Debate Rules

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Donald Trump said he had "reached an agreement" with the Kamala Harris presidential campaign on rules for a "fair and equitable" debate on September 10 hosted by ABC.

The Details: Trump wrote on Truth Social that the "Rules will be the same" as for his debate against Biden in June and that the candidates will remain standing and cannot bring notes. He did not specifically mention the rule that each candidate's mic will be muted while not answering a moderator question, but CNN (Lean Left bias) reported that the rule would indeed remain in place. Harris has recently pushed to drop the rule in favor of constant hot mics. The Harris campaign pushed back against Trump's claim, saying the terms were not settled and that both canidates had agreed to hot mics.
