Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have reportedly agreed to a debate format on ABC News scheduled for Sept. 10.
The only confirmed debate between the candidates faced a snag Monday over whether the microphones should be muted while the other candidate is speaking.
Per USA Today:
The former president and GOP nominee posted on Truth Social Tuesday afternoon that the pair will go head to head on Sept. 10, in a live debate hosted by ABC News. The pair had previously agreed on the date and host network, but Trump cast doubt over the weekend whether the debate would occur after all.
“Why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?” Trump asked in a Truth Social post Sunday, criticizing Jonathan Karl’s interview with Tom Cotton on ABC’s “This Week,” as well as the show’s panel of commentators.
Trump on Tuesday continued to criticize the network as “the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business,” while saying he would appear on their broadcast in two weeks.
He also noted that the rules of the debate would be the same as the June debate between Trump and President Joe Biden on CNN, seemingly putting to bed disagreement between the two candidates’ campaigns.
Unlike Biden, the Harris campaign had pushed for a different approach. They wanted ABC News and other networks offering to host a potential October debate to keep the microphones on, even when it’s wasn’t the candidates’ turn to speak.
