Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has called for a debate with live microphones, directly challenging her Republican opponent, former president Donald Trump. Harris expressed concerns that Trump’s advisors are keeping him away from live microphone debates, suggesting they lack confidence in his ability to remain composed. ‘Donald Trump is deferring to his advisors, who won’t let him engage in a debate with a live mic. If his own team doesn’t trust him, then the American people can’t either,’ Harris stated on social media. She urged Trump to ‘debate openly’ with live microphones throughout the event. The call for live microphones comes after reports from Politico that Trump’s campaign team favors a muted microphone, fearing that their candidate might not be able to maintain a presidential demeanor for the duration of the 90-minute debate. The Vice President’s team believes that Harris might provoke Trump into losing his composure, potentially leading to off-script remarks captured by a live microphone. Harris is currently outpacing Trump in national polls, with a 45% approval rating compared to his 41% according to Reuters.
