Debate Commission Announces Changes Ahead of Final Presidential Face-Off

HeadlineOct 20, 2020

The presidential debate commission announced Monday it will mute the microphones of President Trump and Joe Biden during parts of Thursday’s debate. Mics will be muted while the other candidate on stage is responding to the moderator’s question in an effort to avoid the chaotic, interruption-filled scene that unfolded at the first debate, when President Trump interrupted Joe Biden well over 100 times.
