President Trump announced via Truth Social that both political campaigns had agreed to terms of a presidential debate on September 10th.  However, according to Politico – the Harris campaign is saying they did not agree to all the outlined terms.

(Via Politico) – […] the Harris campaign rejects the claim that the Sept. 10 debate will have the same rules from June. The issue regarding whether mics will be turned on during the entire debate is still being discussed, a Harris campaign official said.

“Both candidates have publicly made clear their willingness to debate with unmuted mics for the duration of the debate to fully allow for substantive exchanges between the candidates — but it appears Donald Trump is letting his handlers overrule him. Sad,” a Harris campaign official said in a statement to POLITICO.

The rules of the debate have become a point of contention between the two campaigns in recent days, POLITICO reported, over the issue of whether mics should or should not be muted.

The Harris campaign wanted the mics to be hot throughout the ABC debate, which had been the standard in past presidential debates. But Trump’s campaign pushed to keep to the terms he agreed to with Biden in June, despite the former president saying Monday he’d “rather have” microphones on. The CNN debate also had no studio audience, no opening remarks and consisted of two commercial breaks. (read more)

It will be interesting to watch this debate because Kamala Harris has never seemed to be that intellectual.

Harris is like a female version of George Clooney, who -not coincidentally- was groomed along with Barack Obama to be a possible presidential candidate.  However, as the story was repeated, eventually the handlers of Clooney had to give up because despite all their efforts he just did not have the intellectual capacity to pull it off.
