Kamala Harris’ team said the campaigns were in a dispute over whether the microphones at the forum should be muted when the other candidate is speaking.
Republican nominee Donald Trump cast fresh doubt over whether he would attend the only agreed-to debate with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, which is slated to take place in about two weeks.
The Harris campaign now wants microphones to be live all the time, according to Harris spokesman Brian Fallon, who issued a statement needling Trump.In a statement Monday, Harris’ team said the campaigns were in a dispute over whether the microphones at the forum should be muted when the other candidate is speaking.
“I’d rather have it probably on, but the agreement was that it would be the same as it was the last time. In that case, it was muted. I didn’t like it the last time, but it worked out fine,” he added. Trump has repeatedly expressed reluctance over the ABC News debate with Harris. He initially declined to commit to the forum after Biden’s exit. Trump assailed ABC News and its hosts and floated other venues, including a debate hosted by Fox News, a conservative outlet more friendly to his campaign.
