“We agreed with the radical left Democrats about the debate with our friend Kamala Harris. They will be broadcast live on ABC FAKE NEWS, truly the most disgusting and dishonest channel in the industry,” Trump wrote. He added that the debate will follow the same rules as the Joe Biden-Trump showdown on CNN in June. This means that the candidates’ microphones will not be switched on when the opponent is speaking, and they will not be allowed to have notes and props with them.
The two staffs have publicly argued over the rules for the upcoming debate in Philadelphia. Harris’ team wanted the candidates’ microphones to be on at all times (in the CNN debate, they were only on when the floor was given).
Neither ABC nor Harris’ staff have yet confirmed Trump’s information. The former president also said that the Democratic candidate refused to participate in a possible debate on the TV channel “Fox News”.
Meanwhile, CNN has announced that it will broadcast an interview with K. Harris and the vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, next Thursday. They will be interviewed by Dana Bash, who was also one of the hosts of the June 27 debate between Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump.
This will be Harris’ first interview since Mr. Biden dropped out of the race for re-election. The Democratic candidate has been criticized by Republicans for avoiding direct contact with the media. Since launching her campaign more than a month ago, Ms. Harris has attended many rallies, but has not given interviews or held press conferences. The US vice president promised to do it by the end of August.
