The measures being implemented to prevent a chaotic Biden-Trump debate are both necessary and fascinating. CNN recently revealed that they will be muting microphones during the event to avoid any interruptions, a move that has caused quite a stir among MAGA supporters. In fact, the explanation provided by CNN on Wednesday was so simple and easy to understand that even a child could grasp it.
During a recent CNN broadcast, Victor Blackwell and Phil Mattingly demonstrated how a candidate’s attempt to interrupt their opponent will be handled during the upcoming debate. The demonstration showcased a green light that will appear on a candidate’s podium when their mic is on, and subsequently turn off when their mic is off. According to Mattingly, both the Trump and Biden campaigns were provided with the same explanation and have agreed to abide by the muted mic rules. It’s important to note that the muting is intended to prevent cross talk, which can be disruptive and make it difficult to understand what is being said, rather than to silence the content of a candidate’s response.
