Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly seeking changes to the rules for her upcoming debate with Donald Trump, scheduled for September 10 on ABC. Harris has demanded that microphones remain unmuted throughout the debate, a request that has been denied by ABC. She also wants to bring notes to the debate. This has led to speculation that Harris may be attempting to withdraw from the debate following a challenging CNN interview. Both campaigns had previously agreed to the debate rules, which include muting microphones while the other candidate is speaking. The Trump campaign has accused Harris of trying to find a way to avoid the debate, with Trump adviser Jason Miller suggesting that Harris's team is looking for an 'escape hatch.'
