Trump and Harris's Hot Mic Debate: Republicans and Democrats Aim to Flip Strategies as September 10th Debate Nears
The upcoming September 10th presidential debate is mired in controversy, centering on whether candidate microphones should be muted when it's not their turn to speak. Republicans, seeing benefit from the muted microphones in the last debate, want them muted again, while Democrats argue that an unmuted Trump will reveal his true character. Harris' team believes facing an unrestrained Trump will showcase her strength as a candidate. Harris officials and allies acknowledged that the muted microphones during the debate exposed Biden's difficulty in completing sentences, as there were no Trump interjections to fill the silence.
