Trump Suggests He May Skip Debate

Donald Trump suggested Sunday evening that he might skip a Sept. 10 ABC News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris (D), after agreeing to participate as the GOP presidential nominee earlier this month, the Washington Post reports.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Trump’s social media post Sunday night. 

Playbook: “But behind the scenes, well before he clicked the ‘publish’ button on that post, the two campaigns hit an impasse over the rules of the debate, according to four sources familiar with the issue.”

“The holdup? Whether or not the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it isn’t their turn to speak.”

“Harris’ campaign wants the mics to be hot at all times during the ABC debate, as has historically been the case at presidential debates.”
