On Wednesday, less than a week before the September 10 debate with ABC News, Vice President Kamala Harris finally accepted the rules for the big event up against former and potentially future President Donald Trump.

CNN's MJ Lee posted a thread to her X account, citing a "person familiar with debate negotiations." She also reminded that Harris "had been the final hang-up."

Lee also mentioned a statement from the Harris campaign, which continued to lament the supposed disadvantages Harris was at for such rules. 

"Vice President Harris, a former prosecutor, will be fundamentally disadvantaged by this format, which will serve to shield Donald Trump from direct exchanges with the Vice President," her campaign claimed, really laying the gaslighting on thick. "Notwithstanding our concerns, we understand that Donald Trump is a risk to skip the debate altogether, as he has threatened to do previously, if we do not accede to his preferred format. We do not want to jeopardize the debate," the campaign also claimed, despite how that's exactly what they seem to be doing. Read more, see Xs and video here.
