Team Harris had ‘planned’ on unmuted mics, left ‘scrambling to rewrite’ debate strategy: report

Harris had reportedly ‘planned to object, fact-check and directly question’ Trump while he was speaking

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign team was reportedly left “scrambling” to rework their debate strategy after losing their bid to change the rules on microphones.

Former President Trump and Harris will face off for the first time on Tuesday in Philadelphia, in a debate moderated by ABC News. While the Harris campaign had insisted on moving forward with the debate as previously negotiated between the Biden and Trump Teams, it appears they were expecting the rules to change to make the microphones live throughout the event.

“Kamala Harris had planned to object, fact-check and directly question Donald Trump while he was speaking during their debate next week,” Politico reported on Friday. “But now, with rules just finalized to mute the candidates when their opponents speaks, campaign officials said Harris advisers are scrambling to rewrite their playbook.”
