Trump vs. Harris: Presidential Debate Rules Spark Heated Political Media Controversy

The upcoming presidential debate on September 10 between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump is already causing a stir, as both camps publicly argue about the debate's rules. The conflict has sparked intense reactions from various political media outlets.

Trump's Concerns

Mr. Trump has openly expressed concerns about the fairness of the debate and has made a series of attacks on ABC, the network hosting the event, questioning its credibility. Additionally, he has shown uncertainty about his commitment to the debate.

Harris's Strategy

On the other hand, Ms. Harris's campaign has been actively lobbying for the network to leave the microphones unmuted throughout the debate, which has led to further controversy and debate over the debate rules.

The media's response to these developments has been polarized. Conservative commentators have criticized Ms. Harris's campaign's requests as inconsistency, suggesting that she is avoiding a direct debate with Mr. Trump. They have also echoed Mr. Trump's grievances about ABC's alleged bias in favor of Ms. Harris, despite the lack of evidence to support these claims.
