The real story behind the Harris-Trump hot mic feud

Summary

74% Informative

The first presidential debate of the year was catastrophic for President Joe Biden , who was ousted as the presumptive nominee of his party as a direct result.

The issue is whether a candidate’s microphone should be muted when it is not their turn to speak.

Democrats say Trump appeared docile when he wasn’t allowed to pop off when he pleased, giving him a false veneer of discipline.

Republicans accuse Harris of fearing the silence of Trump 's muted microphone.

Democrats argued Trump 's repeated interruptions in 2020 debates proved distracting and he was incapable of following the rules.

By one count, Trump interrupted Biden 145 times.

At times, at times, that seemed to save Biden , who in some answers struggled to keep his train of thought.

Democrats — albeit under the Biden regime — wanted microphones muted in the first place.
