CNN showcased the audio setup for the upcoming presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, revealing the rules imposed by the Biden Campaign. The debate, moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper, will notably lack a live studio audience and enforce muting microphones to prevent interruptions, a stipulation pushed by Biden’s team.
During the demonstration, CNN’s Victor Blackwell illustrated how the microphone system will operate, with green lights indicating when each candidate can speak. The network emphasized that both campaigns have agreed to adhere to these regulations for the debate.
