Debate commission adopts new rules to mute microphones during second presidential debate
WASHINGTON โ President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden will have their microphones cut off in Thursdayโs debate while their rival delivers their opening two-minute answer to each of the debate topics. The 90-minute debate is divided into six 15-minute segments, with each candidate granted two minutes to deliver uninterrupted remarks before proceeding to an open debate. The open discussion portion of the debate will not feature a mute button, but interruptions by either candidate will count toward their time in the second and final debate Thursday. The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates announced the rule changes Monday, three weeks after a chaotic opening faceoff between the two presidential contenders that featured frequent interruptions -- most by Trump. The commission has faced pressure from the Trump campaign to avoid changing the rules, while Bidenโs team was hoping for a more ordered debate.
