Miller characterized\u200b this request as having &#8220;sinister&#8221; intentions, particularly noting that it coincided with the anniversary of the \u200dKabul Airport attack, which resulted in the deaths of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/he-took-a-question-from-peter-doocy-marine-veteran-says-joe-biden-only-did-one-courageous-or-honest-thing\/\" title=\"\u2018He Took A Question From Peter Doocy\u2019: Marine Veteran Says Joe Biden Only Did One \u2018Courageous Or Honest Thing\u2019\">13 service members<\/a> during the Biden administration&#8217;s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He \u200csuggested that the timing of the request was a distraction from Harris&#8217;s performance and accountability regarding that event.<\/p>\n<p>Miller speculated that Harris may be looking for \u200dexcuses\u2064 not to debate Trump, implying that her debate preparation isn&#8217;t going well, and remarked on her lack of media interviews since declaring her candidacy. He emphasized that these developments indicate a potential decline\u2064 in Harris&#8217;s support amid Trump&#8217;s increasing momentum, bolstered by a recent endorsement \u200dfrom Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Miller&#8217;s commentary \u2063points to a growing apprehension regarding \u200dHarris&#8217;s campaign strategy as the election approaches.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jason Miller suggests &lsquo;sinister&rsquo; plans in play with Harris fighting debate rules<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1738299\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> senior adviser, Jason Miller, argued there are &ldquo;sinister&rdquo; intentions behind a request by Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> campaign to change the rules for the next presidential debate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The report about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3133999\/harris-team-fighting-muted-mics-abc-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Harris campaign&rsquo;s request<\/a> was released Monday, which stated her campaign is requesting the microphones of both candidates be turned on throughout the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>debate<\/a> rather than muting a candidate&rsquo;s microphone when their opponent is talking.

This information was made public on Monday and indicated that Harris&#8217;s campaign wants both candidates&#8217; microphones to remain active throughout the debate instead of muting one while the other speaks. Miller pointed out that this announcement coincided with the third anniversary of the Kabul Airport attack, which resulted in 13 service members&#8217; deaths during the Biden administration&#8217;s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He suggested that this timing was intended to divert attention from Harris and criticized her for being involved in decisions related to those deaths. On Fox News\u2019s Jesse Watters Primetime, he described their actions as cynical and shameful.<\/p>\n<p>Miller also speculated that Harris might be looking for a way out of debating Trump next month due to inadequate preparation. He referenced how previous candidates who faced Trump saw their careers end abruptly, alluding to President Joe Biden\u2019s decision not to seek reelection shortly after debating Trump. Notably, it has been 36 days since Harris became the Democratic candidate for president in 2024 without having conducted any press interviews. Miller suggested her support may have peaked while Trump&#8217;s popularity has surged following an endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Trump expressed uncertainty about participating in the upcoming debate scheduled by ABC News on September 10 and questioned why Harris preferred ABC over other networks like Fox News or NBC after she declined his invitation for a debate on Fox set for September 4th; instead, he plans a &#8220;tele-town hall&#8221; with Sean Hannity on Fox.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) urged Trump to go ahead with debating Harris regardless of any unfavorable rules they might impose, arguing it is essential since she is unlikely to engage with press inquiries until after Election Day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2331673,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Jason-Miller-debate-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33083,33914,32438,5894],"class_list":["post-2331672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-debate-rules","tag-jason-miller","tag-kamala-harris","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Jason-Miller-debate-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2331672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2331672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2331673"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2331672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2331672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2331672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
