After the chaotic first TV duel between US President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden, the rules for their next meeting will be adjusted.
Partly the microphone of a candidate is to be muted while the other speaks, as the responsible independent commission CPD announced according to US media yesterday evening. This is intended to reduce mutual interruptions between the candidates in the debate on Thursday.
Three TV duels between Trump and Biden were originally planned. The second, however, was canceled: the commission had changed the format because of Trump’s Covid 19 disease and wanted to connect the candidates online instead of a face-to-face encounter. Trump rejected that.
