Donald Trump accidentally sided with Kamala Harris by slapping down his own aides Monday over whether his microphone will be muted at the two candidates’ upcoming debate.
The former president said he would be happy to have an open microphone throughout the debate—something Harris’ team had demanded ahead of the Sept. 10 clash which will be televised from Philadelphia on ABC.
That would let an unfiltered Trump reaction off-camera be heard by tens of millions of people watching at home, something which the Harris camp believe would boost their side, but which Trump clearly thinks would benefit him.
