The upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, scheduled for September 10 and hosted by ABC News, is in jeopardy as Trump questions the network’s bias against him. Trump took to social media to express his concerns and criticize the network and its chief correspondent. Sources also report that there is an impasse between the two campaigns over the rules of the debate.
Harris’s campaign team is pushing for both candidates’ microphones to be live throughout the broadcast, allowing for interjections, instead of the agreed rule that mutes the microphone when it’s not the candidate’s turn to speak. As the 2024 election heats up, both campaigns are embarking on campaign blitzes in key swing states.
Trump’s campaign is wary of potential power struggles within the inner circle, which could distract from the campaign just months before the election. With the first mail-in ballots set to be sent out in 11 days and in-person voting beginning in less than a month, the candidates are ramping up their efforts to secure votes and define their choices for voters. The upcoming debate between Trump and Harris adds another layer of tension to an already heated election season.
