In the heated competition for the US presidency, Republican candidate Trump cast a shadow over the only scheduled debate with Democratic nominee Harris. With just two weeks until the debate date, Trump posted on the social media platform Truth Social criticizing the fairness of ABC News, the debate organizer, suggesting it may be biased towards Harris. He questioned in his post, 'Why should I debate Harris on that TV station?' and further asked, 'Why does Harris refuse to participate in debates on Fox, NBC, CBS, or even CNN?' In response, Harris's campaign team issued a statement the next day, pointing out a disagreement between both campaigns about whether microphones should remain muted during the debate. These statements and comments have introduced uncertainty into the originally planned debate, sparking public attention and discussion regarding the fairness of the debate.
