Is this thing on? Harris and Trump battle over hot mics at debate.

With just 15 days left until the scheduled Sept. 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, negotiations between their two campaigns have hit an impasse over whether the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it is not their turn to speak, according to four people familiar with the issue. 

In June, President Joe Biden’s campaign came to an agreement with Trump’s: There would be two debates — CNN’s on June 27 and ABC’s on Sept. 10 — conducted by mutually negotiated rules. One of the Biden team’s demands — which the Trump team agreed to — was that microphones “will be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak,” as CNN announced on June 15.

But Biden is no longer running for president. And Harris’ campaign wants the microphones to be hot at all times during the ABC debate — as has historically been the case at presidential debates.

this is what BBC said on cutting Tyler’s mic. I get it but at the same time it makes no sense to me…what is cutting his mic going to do for his safety? They still had it on for the 45 seconds it took him to climb up. seems to me that they just got angry and decided to cut them off.  I think maybe next time BBC should do more research on the acts that they’re booking.
