The Debating Committee


In preparation for the last election debate between the Republican and Democratic candidates, the committee overseeing the debates in the presidential elections decided to turn off the loudspeaker in the debate so that each candidate could speak for some time without being interrupted by the other.

The committee stated that this change is necessary after the first debate that took place between the two candidates on September 29, which was characterized by the frequent boycott of each candidate, which raised dissatisfaction in the United States about the level of debate between the candidates for the presidency of the country.

The debate organizers will give each candidate two minutes without interruption at the beginning of each part of the debate, for up to 15 minutes each.

Commenting on the committee's decision, Trump said he would take part in the debate with his rival Biden, the former Vice President, despite conditions he considered unfair.
