The campaigns of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are arguing in advance of their high-stakes Sept. 10 debate over whether microphones should be muted except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak.
While it’s common for campaigns to quibble beforehand over debate mechanics, both Harris and Trump are under pressure to deliver a strong performance next month in Philadelphia. The first debate during this campaign led to President Joe Biden’s departure from the race.

Typical twisting of the truth by the AssPress. Harris is trying to change the already agreed-upon rules because she is afraid to face Donald Trump and he is calling her out on it.

It is NOT Trump who is the problem it is Kammie the empty headed dimwit who is trying to change the rules to advantage herself! Now she wants "notes" which are no doubt the answers to the questions she is provided with before the debate! I hope Trump tells her to either abide by the original rules or go to hell! I saw he says it doesn't matter but it feels like he is too accomodating to her. S*rew her and ABC!

Harris is wanting to get out of the debates by challenging the rules already agreed upon.

If Kamala says, like she did to Pence, "I'm speaking" Trump should respond with "NO WONDER 92% of your staff left". ("Do you speak that way to other world leaders? Maybe they will walk out on you too").

Wasn't it Commie Kamala who insisted that the debate go on as agreed with Biden and called Trump a chicken for suggesting changing the rules back then? Trump ultimately agreed to keep things as is. Now, Kamala, in a schizophrenic twist, Kamala wants to change the same rules that she had insisted on keeping. Kamala's stance on debate rules is about firm as her stance on any policy issue. It changes with the wind.

Kamala MUST participate in this debate or the ignorant democrats will go on thinking that she is a viable candidate. Most of them can not connect her joyful, cackling glee to the communistic, socialistic, dictatorial reign of terror that she has in mind for them when they pronounce her Queen of the World. This woman is dangerously stupid.

The " squabble " is on her part. She wants to be seated at a desk ( she's short, Trump is tall ) and she wants to have notes with her.

I’m surprised they put her name first in the headline. She is the one trying to get out of the agreed upon format-he’s not agreeing to that so AP sees it as a squabble. If it were the other way around you can be sure Harris’ name would be nowhere near this headline.

It is the Associated Press. They play by the Democrat's rules. Democrats like the favors and shortcuts that give them the advantage. . .

If Kamala gets her way and the mikes are unmuted, then Trump should just put a cover over his mike when it is not his turn to speak. And then look at her and smile.

As always Harris is the one squabbling, not Trump . Typical AP bilge.

As soon as I read the headline I knew it was one of our compromised left wing news sources. AP is terrible now.

I'd like to blame only the Ass Press on this, but a funny thing happened on the way to the local weather this morning.
I hardly ever watch news on television, even the "local" news. Whelp, I decided to try and catch the weather on the local station at 6 AM today since we are in for some rain. Lo and behold one of the first things mentioned by the "local" anchorman, President Trump may back out of the debate with the Cackler. Of course, they didn't say "the Cackler". No, no, she's a viable, thinking VP who happens to be running for president, and that chicken Trump might back out of the debate. Not one peep about Cackles wanting to change the rules. Nothing, nada, zippo. I couldn't change the channel quick enough to the Billiards channel. Just a reinforcement of how much most of the news is part and parcel of the Demonrat Party.

I even saw the British press nailing the MSM’s lies about this. It is KH who is making all the stupid demands and really they hope Trump says NO so they can then call him cowardly.

Same with the Australian press #16. The nail how ridiculous Harris/Walz is and how the press here sucks up to them. I was laughing myself to the point of my sides hurting watching clip of CNN hosts trying to make excuses for Harris and her obvious fear of a debate with PDJT. Dimwits like The MEG from the Always Propagandists is of course just like them.
