  • Kamala Harris' campaign is demanding that microphones stay unmuted at the next debate.
  • It's a break from Joe Biden, who insisted on microphone muting at the June 27 debate.
  • It indicates the vice president thinks outbursts from Trump would end up benefiting her.

And sadly, large swaths of his base would just eat it up for tElLiNg It LiKe It Is or because they're mostly racist misogynists.

It would galvanize his base but they’re already a lost cause. Him having a racist/sexist outburst on live TV and Harris handling it like an adult would only help her campaign.

I also think there may be women who vote "how they're told" who wouldn't appreciate that and would tell their husband they voted for Trump but actually vote for Harris.

For sure; I suspect there’s already a large group of women voters with trumper husbands already planning on voting for Harris, especially if this is anything to go off of: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/the-big-question-touching-a-nerve-this-election-can-my-husband-find-out-who-i-am-voting-for/ar-AA1oMuqQ
