We're less than one week away from the first presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. It's set to take place on September 10 at 9 p.m. et. ABC News is the host.
But as the clock ticks down to the big event, the Harris campaign is still arguing over the rules, stoking suspicion their candidate is trying to bail out. They want microphones on. The rules will have microphone off after allotted time for a question runs out.
Kamala Harris does not want to debate. That's the only reason to keep arguing about rules that were already sent out by ABC News and agreed to by the other campaign.

The Trump team has already agreed to the current rules and former President Trump offered Harris a number of debates. She only accepted one.
TRUMP CONFIRMS DEBATES!

Stop trying to manufacture excuses to avoid debates. He agreed to three. You agreed to one with the original rules, and one provisionally; then you tried to change the original rules. You're a campaign of cowardice. https://t.co/Khuhod6evt

Meanwhile, Harris is still hiding from the press and from voters. She'll be in debate prep for the remainder of the week. Trump will participate in a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity Wednesday night.
Comrade Kamala Harris has backed out of the FoxNews debate that was supposed to be tonight. So I will be doing a huge town hall with Sean Hannity on FoxNews in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. ENJOY!
