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.
