NBC’s O’Donnell: Harris Team Felt Muted Mics at the Debate Wouldn’t ‘Benefit the American People’

EXCERPT:

O’DONNELL: “Of course, as you pointed out, these were rules that were originally agreed to when Joe Biden was intending to run and were used during the first debate from June 27th. And so, to some degree, the Trump campaign, in just the simple art of negotiation, doesn’t like to give up something it already had, while the Harris campaign really viewed this as a new opportunity with a new candidate to try to set up a dialogue and an interchange that would benefit the American people. And from their point of view, they think open mics work better. We’ll see how it plays out.”
