Donald Trump, Kamala Harris preparing for debate on Tuesday in Philadelphia
As the high-intensity September 10th debate between GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris approaches, Trump has made an unusual demand. The former president, known for his unconventional tactics, has insisted that "no boxes or artificial lifts" be allowed for Harris during the debate, as mentioned in a report by Yahoo. Trump's demand, announced on his social media platform Truth Social, has sparked controversy and drawn attention to the upcoming event. Height Controversy in FocusTrump's demand revolves around the use of height-enhancing items, which he equates to "cheating." In his post,Trump referenced a similar situation from a previous debate with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, where the use of a "lift" was prohibited.Trump, who is reported to be between 6 feet and 6 feet 3 inches tall, stated, "No boxes or artificial lifts will be allowed to stand on during my upcoming debate with Comrade Kamala Harris."He further added, "And the Democrats cheat enough. ‘You are who you are,’ it was determined!"This focus on height is reminiscent of Trump's past debates, particularly in 2016 when he towered over Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump's physical presence during that debate was widely noted, with his habit of lurking behind Clinton as she spoke becoming a point of parody on shows as she spoke becoming a point of parody on shows like Saturday Night Live, as mentioned in Yahoo’s report.Harris' RequestIn response to the debate rules, Kamala Harris' campaign has also voiced concerns. Harris, who stands at 5 feet 4 inches tall, has expressed reservations about ABC News' decision to mute candidates' microphones when it is not their turn to speak. In a letter to the network, her campaign argued that this format would "disadvantage" Harris, a former prosecutor known for her sharp questioning skills. The campaign suggested that the muted microphones would protect Trump from direct exchanges, a key element of the debate.A source familiar with the debate preparations told CNN that ABC may consider turning on the microphones during certain moments to allow the audience to hear the candidates' reactions, adding another layer of complexity to the debate format, as per the Yahoo report.Debate Details and Broadcast InformationThe debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is scheduled to take place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday, September 10th, at 9:00 pm local time. The event will be broadcast live by ABC News, with no audience present in the room due to ongoing concerns.Moderated by ABC anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis, the debate will last for 90 minutes, with two commercial breaks. The issue of muted microphones has been particularly contentious, with both sides accusing each other of cowardice over the matter. ABC has clarified that each candidate's microphone will only be active during their designated speaking time, ensuring that interruptions are minimized.
