Kamala Harris' campaign has a new demand for her debate with Donald Trump: that each candidate's microphone stays unmuted the whole time.

"The VP is ready to debate Trump live and uncensored," Harris' advisor Brian Fallon wrote on X on Monday. "Trump should stop hiding behind the mute button."

Fallon suggested that Trump's campaign would not agree to that condition, writing that Trump "should reject his handlers' attempts to muzzle him via a muted microphone."

A Trump spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment on whether that's true. But more broadly, Trump's campaign is complaining that the Harris campaign is making new demands about the debate, set to be held on September 10 in Philadelphia.

"Now that they've started their debate prep with Harris, they're wanting to change the rules," the Trump advisor Jason Miller wrote on X. "What is it they're seeing that has them worried?"

Miller also told Politico that Harris' campaign "asked for a seated debate, with notes, and opening statements." Fallon told the outlet that the campaign didn't push for any notes or for the candidates to be seated.
