It’s being reported this morning that ABC news has refused a Kamala Harris rule change for the debate coming up on September 10th.

Kamala apparently wanted to have the mics unmuted while they other was speaking, but ABC News wouldn’t do it.

Here’s more from the NY Post:

ABC News has declined to adopt Vice President Kamala Harris’ request to have wholly unmuted microphones during her Sept. 10 debate with former President Donald Trump — after days of wrangling over what Republicans viewed as Democrat attempts to lay a trap for the GOP nominee.

A network email reviewed by The Post lays out similar rules as those for Trump’s June 27 CNN debate against President Biden — including no audience, no pre-written notes or props and muted mics when a candidate is not speaking.

Trump and Harris will be standing on stage and will only be allowed to have a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water.

The Republican campaign had insisted the debate — set to be held at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center — follow the same rules as the June showdown with Biden.

However, Harris’ team claimed on Monday that they wanted both candidate mics on for the entire 90-minute showdown.

A Trump campaign source told The Post Wednesday that they understood that the Harris campaign had backed off the request, though the precise chronology was unclear.

“The Harris folks are completely full of it,” Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller told Newsmax on Wednesday.

“Everything was agreed to and set last week,” he added. “The Harris people are trying to distract and come up with something shiny to move away from from the fact that she’s not doing interviews.”

It was widely assumed that Harris wanted the microphones unmuted to deploy an interjectory line to garner viral buzz.

She might have wanted ‘viral buzz’, which makes sense given Trump’s propensity to interrupt. If he interrupted, she could say something like she did against Pence when she said “I’m speaking!”. Of course I don’t think Trump would just roll over like Pence did.

But even more than that I believe she was hoping that Trump’s interruptions would be a turn-off to everyone and give the media another angle on which to attack Trump after the debate.
