29, 2020, at Case Western University and Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. President Donald Trump will have their microphones muted during portions of the second and final presidential debate on Thursday night, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Monday in a decision that will likely anger Trump.
"We realize, after discussions with both campaigns, that neither campaign may be totally satisfied with the measures announced today," the statement read. "One may think they go too far, and one may think they do not go far enough. We are comfortable that these actions strike the right balance and that they are in the interest of the American people, for whom these debates are held.
"Under the agreed upon debate rules, each candidate is to have two minutes of uninterrupted time to make remarks at the beginning of each 15 minute segment of the debate. These remarks are to be followed by a period of open discussion," the commission said in a statement. "Both campaigns this week again reaffirmed their agreement to the two-minute, uninterrupted rule."
Following the first debate, the commission did not specify what changes they would be making, but their statement at the time said they intended "to ensure that additional tools to maintain order are in place for the remaining debates." "I just hope there's a way in which the debate commission can control the ability of us to answer the questions without interruptions," Biden said the day after the first debate.
"It is completely unacceptable for anyone to wield such power, and a decision to proceed with that change amounts to turning further editorial control of the debate over to the Commission which has already demonstrated its partiality to Biden," Stepien wrote in a statement issued before the campaign agreed to the change.
Just so they can help O joe CrookedBiden
Maybe we can just mute the whole damn thing. Neither of them have anything worthwhile listening to. It’s a massive disgrace that hopefully we’ll look back on one day and be glad it’s over
They should introduce themselves. Then their mics should be muted. We can watch Trump rant and rave in silence. Eventually, the pressure will get too high and his head will explode.
Interesting I hope that includes the monitor as well.
Will he still be able to yell though? Can we put him into a sound proof booth as well? (And leave him in there indefinitely pls)
This won’t be as fun to watch as the last one
Don't care.
so he yells louder ?
I know! Someone will be very frustrated! I mean the guy with social disorder!
Truth serum should be administered to Trump as well.
Seems logical since one just can’t keep his mouth shut long enough just listen
How about mute them both for the entirety of the debate?
Wow they will not even hide freedom of speech anymore. This will be hilarious.
Why are all the moderators democrats? Even the debates are ‘fixed’ by the cheating democrats?
GOOD!
Nothing going to stop Trump from speaking over Biden.
Let Joe talk. And talk some more. Election over.
Well, I was looking forward to another poop show. A part of me is eager to find out how both of them will exceed my “Poop show” expectations this time around with restrictions being implemented.😂
Can’t wait to see the orangutan POTUS implode!
I hope they keep talking after there muted that would be great
