Why is Trump backing out from the debate with Kamala Harris? What is the story behind the mic being muted?

US Elections: Some interesting things are happening in the US presidential election. There does not seem to be a consensus between the two sides regarding the US Presidential debate to be held next month. On the one hand, Kamala Harris’s team wants the mic to be kept open during the debate. On the other hand, her Republican opponent threatened to completely distance himself from the debate. Trump has called the ABC network biased, whereas there was a consensus on this earlier. Trump, who is contesting for the White House for the third time, said that why would I debate against Kamala Harris on that network? Trump said this in a post written on social media late Sunday night.

Kamala Harris’s spokesperson Brian Fallon said on Monday that the Vice President’s team wants the broadcasters to keep the candidates’ microphones on throughout the program. It should not be turned off even when the opponent is speaking, as happened in the last presidential debate. It is worth noting that keeping the mic on can be beneficial for the candidate, but there is also a fear of loss. If this happens, some such things can also go to the public which can spoil the image of the presidential candidate. Fallon said in a statement that the Vice President is ready to deal with Trump’s constant lies and interruptions. Trump should stop hiding behind the mute button.

At the same time, Trump campaign’s senior advisor Jason Miller said in a statement that he had already agreed to CNN’s conditions, which were applicable during June. During that time too the microphones were muted. He said that we had said that there should be no changes in the rules that were discussed. However, later Trump told reporters that he likes to keep his microphone on. He said that he did not like keeping the mic muted last time. At that time he was not very prepared to face the new opponent. Trump said that I am not spending much time on this. I think I have been preparing for debates all my life.
