The Harris campaign has agreed to the ABC presidential debate rules, with certain assurances.

The final rules for the ABC News debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump were agreed upon by the vice president, reportedly after receiving certain "assurances" from the network.

On Wednesday, ABC News made public the guidelines for Tuesday's debate between Harris and Trump, which included the contentious rule that microphones be silenced while a candidate is speaking.

The Harris campaign consistently opposed this rule, provoking Trump to abandon the initial agreement to silence mics, and even declined to endorse the guidelines last week in an effort to renegotiate.

On Wednesday, CNN reported that Harris agreed to the rules after receiving separate "assurances" that mics could be turned on during the debate and the moderators would explain unheard exchanges.

According to a source familiar with the matter, ABC News has assured the Harris campaign that if there is significant cross talk between Harris and Trump during the debate, the network may turn on the mics to allow the public to understand what is happening. The moderator would discourage either candidate from interrupting constantly and would also work to explain to viewers what is being said. CNN reported this information.

It is claimed that pool reporters will be present to report on what can be heard while mics are muted for TV viewers.

The Harris campaign accepted the debate rules while continuing to complain about the terms.

The letter stated that Vice President Harris, a former prosecutor, would be at a disadvantage in this format as it would protect Donald Trump from direct interactions with the Vice President. The primary reason for the campaign's insistence on muted microphones is likely due to this.

Despite our reservations, we acknowledge that Donald Trump may choose to forgo the debate if we do not adhere to his preferred format. To avoid jeopardizing the debate, we have agreed to the entire set of rules put forth by ABC, including muted microphones.

Despite President Biden withdrawing from the presidential race in July, the Harris campaign continued with the previously planned ABC presidential debate. However, following Trump's agreement, the Harris campaign attempted to modify the rules to have the microphones live during the event.

Despite Trump's initial willingness, he and his campaign later criticized Harris for her sudden demand for changes.
