Part 5/15:
Sources indicate that Biden’s team is demanding that the debates be hosted only by mainstream outlets aligned with their interests, such as NPR, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS, and that moderators sympathetic to the Biden narrative be selected. They also seek restrictions such as muting Trump’s microphone when Biden speaks—a move reflective of the narrow, controlled environment they desire. Furthermore, Biden’s campaign stipulates that RFK Jr.—who’s polling surprisingly well—should be excluded, aiming to keep the debates strictly a one-on-one event.
