💥Trump and Harris campaigns dispute over presidential debate! 💥
The campaigns of former US President Trump and current Vice President Harris had a heated dispute on Monday over next month's US presidential debate. 😃
On Sunday night local time, Trump accused ABC TV of bias on social media, questioned why he debated with Harris on the TV station, and said Harris rejected Fox, NBC, CBS and even CNN. 👀
Harris' spokesman Brian Fallon said on Monday that Harris' team hopes that the broadcaster will keep the candidate's microphone on throughout the debate, saying that the vice president is ready to respond to Trump's lies and interruptions in real time, accusing Trump of hiding behind the mute button. 💪
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign team, said that he had agreed to adopt the same rules as CNN's June debate, that is, to use the mute microphone approach, and disagreed with any changes to the rules that have been reached. But Trump later said that he prefers to keep his microphone on, did not like the experience of being muted last time, and would not make too much preparation for facing a new opponent this time. 🙅♂
A representative for ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Harris, who won the Democratic nomination after Biden dropped out of the race last month, has said she will participate in the debate scheduled for September 10 on ABC News. Biden had pushed for an early debate but ended his reelection campaign after a poor performance in the June 27 debate. Trump had proposed another debate hosted by Fox News on September 4, but Harris' team rejected it. Republican Senator JD Vance and Democratic Minnesota Governor Waltz, two U.S. vice presidential candidates, are scheduled to debate on CBS News on October 1. 🎈
