NextImg:'Already Making Excuses'! Harris Campaign Has Been Scrambling Since This Debate Plan Got Blown Up

Tomorrow night the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will take place. It will be the second debate of the year, but you know how the first one went for Joe Biden. 

The Harris campaign wanted fully open mics during the debate and it looks like they thought they were going to get their way, but now they're scrambling, according to Politico:

It looks like there's a lowering of expectations going on:

It looks like the Harris team is already blaming Joe Biden's people for any potential debate problems caused by Kamala's inability to talk over and interrupt Trump:

Instead, four Harris campaign officials argued that she will be “handcuffed” by the rules, which were negotiated by President Joe Biden’s team earlier this summer.

“Trump’s worst moments in the debates are when he gets upset and snaps,” said an aide to Harris in her 2020 presidential campaign, granted anonymity to speak freely. “And they have neutered that.”

Some Democrats privately dismiss the Harris campaign’s frustration as largely gamesmanship and expectation-setting around Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia. But others say the rule change and her limited experience in national general election debates and interviews since becoming her party’s nominee could affect Harris’ debate performance.

Harris is trying to distance herself from Biden but she's stuck with these debate rules just like the rest of us are stuck with Bidenflation.

It's almost as if the Harris campaign was desperate to find a way to keep Kamala from having to talk about anything of substance.

The last thing the Harris campaign wants is Kamala having to talk about policy instead of repeated opportunities to do her "Girl Boss" thing while selling a few "I'm speaking" t-shirts.
