Trump-Harris spar over turning off microphone in debate
In the United States, the two camps are mainly arguing about whether the microphone of the other should be turned off after one speaks during the debate of the Democratic and Republican candidates.
In the run-up to the US election, the two camps are at loggerheads over whether to turn off the microphone at next month's debate between Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican opponent, Donald Trump.
During the debate, the Democratic and Republican camps are essentially arguing over whether to turn off the microphone of one candidate after another.
In a statement, Harris' Democratic campaign told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that they wanted both candidates to have their microphones on throughout the debate.
Meanwhile, the Trump camp wants the Sept. 10 ABC debate to follow the rules set when President Joe Biden was the Democratic nominee.
At that time there was a rule to turn off the microphone. That is, as such, the Trump camp is in favor of keeping the microphone off.
By the time Biden dropped out of the race, he had already scheduled two debates with the Trump camp, including one on CNN in June. Another debate was scheduled for September on ABC News.
