Kamala Harris, full of complaints as always, aired her concerns to ABC News recently concerning the regulation of the forthcoming televised debate with Donald Trump. Though she had agreed to the terms and conditions of the debate earlier, her camp voiced a last-minute dissatisfaction regarding a rule that restricts usage of the candidates’ microphones during off-turn periods. Harris, with her shortsightedness, falsely speculates that this undertaking by Trump is merely an evasion tactic to avoid direct confrontations.
ABC News, however, confirmed that both candidates had agreed to this format in May, something Harris seems to have conveniently forgotten. An inside source at CNN leaked the information that mics might be activated if there’s exchange of heavy crossfire between the two contenders. Harris’ team, in all their paranoia, expressed fear that Trump would withdraw from the debate if the mics were unregulated.
Regardless of their unjustifiable fears, they came to realize the possible repercussions if we do not succumb to Trump’s preferred debate structure. They apprehend Trump might dismiss the debate entirely, leveraging a power play he has previously displayed. CNN obtained and reported this excerpt from a letter underpinned by her campaign, ‘While we have certain reservations, we understand the potential risk of Donald Trump opting out of the debate. We don’t want to sabotage any possibility of the debate, hence, we accept the comprehensive rule-set proposed by ABC, featuring mute microphones.’
In spite of all the complaints, she never misses an opportunity to gain an upper hand. She is not a stranger to seeking advance favors for debates, proving her cunningness yet again. With a similar objective in perspective, Trump recently revealed at a Fox News town hall event that ABC News had been less than truthful and suggested potential premeditated favoritism in support of his rival.
His unsupported speculations find their basis in Harris’s acquaintance with a network executive who has close associations with ABC. The New York Times published a report on this particular claim. His debatable remarks have created an environment of unpredictability for the viewers.
Trump confided in Fox News presenter, Sean Hannity, that he plans to handle Harris in the same manner as he dealt with Joe Biden. His strategy entails allowing Harris to have her say, akin to his approach with Biden. Although Biden’s disastrous performance during the debate eventually led him to step down from the race in favor of Harris, Trump has decided to stay consistent in his approach.
An unexpected assertion was made during his conversation with Hannity, ‘Some folks opine that Biden could be more intelligent than Harris. If that’s the case, we indeed have a grave concern.’ This statement underlines Trump’s knack for leveraging every possible opportunity to question the competence of his political rivals, turning their milestones into stumbling blocks.
