Biden-Harris Campaign Agrees to Debate Rules

The Biden-Harris campaign has agreed to a set of rules for the upcoming presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The rules include having microphones muted for one candidate while the other speaks, a two-minute time limit for answers, and a 120-second limit for closing statements.

The Biden-Harris campaign has agreed to a set of rules for the upcoming presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The rules were established by ABC News, which will host the debate on Tuesday, September 10th, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

According to the rules, microphones for one candidate will be live at a time while they answer questions, while the other's microphone will remain muted until it is their turn to speak. This is the same format that was used in the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden in July.

Each candidate will have two minutes to answer each question, followed by another two minutes for rebuttal, and "an additional minute for a follow-up, clarification, or response." Neither contender will be allowed to bring pre-written notes on stage, and there will be no opening statements from either party. Closing statements from each participant will be limited to 120 seconds.

The Biden-Harris campaign has agreed to these rules with some "assurances," according to a report from Fox News. The assurances reportedly include that the moderators will be fair and impartial, and that the debate will be focused on policy issues.

Some commentators have criticized the rules, arguing that they give an advantage to Harris, who is the incumbent. However, the Trump campaign has agreed to the rules, and it remains to be seen how they will impact the debate.

The debate is sure to be closely watched, as it will be the first time that Trump and Harris have faced off in a head-to-head matchup. The outcome of the debate could have a significant impact on the race for the presidency.

In addition to the rules for the debate, the Biden-Harris campaign has also agreed to participate in a pre-debate interview with ABC News anchor David Muir. The interview will be held on Monday, September 9th, and will give Harris an opportunity to discuss her vision for the country and to respond to any attacks from Trump.

The Trump campaign has not yet agreed to a pre-debate interview, but it is expected that Trump will hold a rally or give a speech on the eve of the debate.
