"Why should I debate Kamala Harris on that TV station? Just wait and see," the Republican presidential candidate wrote in a social media post on the evening of August 25, accusing the event of bias. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris' spokesman, Brian Fallon, said on August 26 that her campaign wanted the TV station to keep the candidates' microphones on throughout the debate, not mute the opponent when the other spoke like the previous debate between President Joe Biden and Mr. Trump. Keeping the microphone on all the time could increase the attacks on the opponent, attracting mixed comments from the public. As for the issue of muting the microphone, Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said earlier that the Trump campaign had agreed to the same terms as the June debate hosted by CNN, adding: "We have no changes to the agreed-upon rules." But Trump himself later told reporters that he wanted his microphone turned on and made clear his stance on not being muted. "For me, it's not a problem with the microphone. But the agreement will be the same as last time. I don't spend a lot of time on debates. I think I've been preparing for debates my whole life. You can't cram 30 years of knowledge into a week," Trump told reporters.
Vice President Harris officially clinched the Democratic nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention last week after President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the race in July. Before President Biden dropped out of the race, his campaign and Mr. Trump agreed to participate in a debate hosted by ABC on September 10. Former President Trump also proposed that the Democratic candidate participate in another debate hosted by Fox News on September 4. However, Ms. Harris's team declined the offer. The two vice presidential candidates, Republican Senator JD Vance and Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are scheduled to debate on October 1 on CBS News.
