In the weeks since Kamala Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee, she’s gotten used to getting her way with the mainstream media. Indeed, the press has been fawning over Harris like it’s their job. They’ve ignored the fact that she has long been one of the least popular vice presidents of all time.

That’s why it had to have come as a massive shock to Harris that ABC News had just handed her a brutal defeat. Harris had tried to convince ABC to change the rules for her upcoming debate against Donald Trump. She was hoping that since she is such a media darling, she could use that pull to effectively have the debate rigged in her favor.

Unfortunately for Harris, however, ABC did not hesitate to shut her down hard.

From The New York Post:
ABC News has declined to adopt Vice President Kamala Harris’ request to have wholly unmuted microphones during her Sept. 10 debate with former President Donald Trump — after days of wrangling over what Republicans viewed as Democratic attempts to lay a trap for the GOP nominee.

A network email reviewed by The Post lays out similar rules as those for Trump’s June 27 CNN debate against President Biden — including no audience, no pre-written notes or props and muted mics when a candidate is not speaking.

Trump and Harris will be standing on stage and will only be allowed to have a pen, a pad of paper and a bottle of water.

Harris Is Panicking Over This Debate

Trump wanted the same exact debate rules that were in place during his June debate with the then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. These fair rules completely exposed Biden as a candidate with disturbing cognitive failings, allowing Trump to trounce him in the debate.

After watching this happen, Harris appears to have gone into panic mode. After mocking Trump for not immediately committing to the same debate schedule that he’d agreed to with Biden, Harris attempted to change multiple rules. She demanded to be able to have notes, seemingly because she didn’t know her own positions. Harris asked to have both candidates sitting, perhaps to hide the fact that she’s eleven inches shorter than Trump.

Harris also wanted hot mics, which would allow her to whine that she was being talked over. This is what she infamously did during her debate with Mike Pence in 2020. This gives Harris to play the victim and complain about being talked over by a white man. She’d rather do this than have the focus be on the policies that are actually being debated.

Unfortunately for Harris, however, ABC didn’t have any of this. Each of her demands was completely shut down. Much to her dismay, she’ll be alone on the debate stage with Trump with nothing to help her out except for a pen, a blank pad of paper, and a bottle of water.

These debate rules exposed Biden to the world as a president who is mentally incompetent. Here’s hoping they also expose Harris as the sham of a presidential candidate that she is.

Key Takeaways: 

• Harris tries to get debate rules changed to favor her.
• Harris had wanted to sit, have notes, and have the debate mics be hot.
• ABC News immediately shut Harris down.
