Kamala Harris is attempting to change the rules for the upcoming ABC debate on September 10. Reports indicate that she is demanding a seated format and permission to use a “cheat-sheet” during the live debate.
This is yet another example of Harris’s reluctance to face tough questions and her inability to handle the pressure of live debates.
Harris campaign spokesman Brian Fallon claimed that the campaign now insists on keeping microphones live at all times, per AP.
“Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own,” Fallon said.
“Harris is ready to deal with Trump’s constant lies and interruptions in real-time. Trump should stop hiding behind the mute button.”
Jason Miller, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, highlighted the hypocrisy of Harris’s demands. He pointed out that her campaign had previously agreed to the same rules set for the CNN debate but is now attempting to backtrack.
“Enough with the games. We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate,” Miller said.
“The Harris camp, after having already agreed to the CNN rules, asked for a seated debate, with notes, and opening statements. We said no changes to the agreed upon rules.”
“If Kamala Harris isn’t smart enough to repeat the messaging points her handlers want her to memorize, that’s their problem,” Miller added.
“This seems to be a pattern for the Harris campaign. They won’t allow Harris to do interviews, they won’t allow her to do press conferences, and now they want to give her a cheat-sheet for the debate. My guess is that they’re looking for a way to get out of any debate with President Trump.
These demands come after Trump has brought in former Hawaii Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as he begins preparation for his debate showdown with Harris next month in Philadelphia.
Gabbard has faced Harris in a debate and proved incredibly successful. During a July 2019 Democratic Presidential debate on CNN, she destroyed Harris’s garbage record as California Attorney General and San Francisco District Attorney.
President Trump also weighed in on the situation during a stop in the Washington area on Monday after visiting Arlington National Cemetery.
“We agreed to the same rules. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter to me. I’d rather have it probably on, but the agreement was that it would be the same as it was last time. In that case, it was muted. I didn’t like it the last time, but it worked out fine.”
“I mean, ask Biden how it worked out. It was fine, and I think it should be the same. We agreed to the same rules, same rules, and same specifications, and I think that’s probably what it should be, but they’re trying to change it. The truth is they’re trying to get out of it because she doesn’t want to debate. She’s not a good debater. She’s not a smart person. She doesn’t want to debate.”

TGP previously reported that Kamala Harris has officially backed down from participating in the highly anticipated debate against former President Donald Trump, scheduled for September 4th on Fox News.
On Sunday, President Trump expressed his skepticism about the integrity of the ABC debate.
In a post on his Truth Social network, Trump blasted ABC for their biased coverage and questioned why he should even participate in a debate hosted by a network he claims is riddled with “Trump Haters.”
“I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network? Will panelist Donna Brazil give the questions to the Marxist Candidate like she did for Crooked Hillary Clinton? Will Kamala’s best friend, who heads up ABC, do likewise. Where is Liddle’ George Slopadopolus hanging out now? Will he be involved. They’ve got a lot of questions to answer!!! Why did Harris turn down Fox, NBC, CBS, and even CNN? Stay tuned!!!”
Actually Harris doesn’t want a Debate. This will be proven out in the next few weeks. She will try the basement routine like Biden did.
Unfortunately for her many states are implementing voting constraints that concur with the US Constitution, only Citizens are eligible to vote, no mail in ballots like they pulled in 2020.
Don’t forget the DNC tried to change the voting rules at the last minute during the 2020 election and was successful because the changes didn’t allow time for RNC to figure out what the DNC was up to….now we know and need to apply what we learned to these debates….the DNC wants to change the rules not for Kamala’s benefit but to trip up Trump…..Trump is their target….they look for his weaknesses and apply their rules to mess him up…..the debate between Trump and Biden was used by DNC to get rid of Biden….now it’s being used to get rid of Trump….The DNC is running out of ideas and time….attempted assassination on Trump didn’t work so now what…..to figure out how DNC thinks we need to look at their past….they want us to think they are protecting Kamala by changing the rules….that would make sense to us normies but in reality they could care less about Kamala just like they did about Biden….they are after Trump just like the fox is after the chickens….we need to think like the fox to figure out what the DNC is up to.
Kalamity Harris is too STUPID to debate THE DONALD head up, fair and square.
