US President Donald Trump will take part in the upcoming third round of presidential debates despite the fact that the Commission on Presidential Debates has decided to change the rules allowing for the muting of microphones, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said.
Stepien said in a Monday statement that the president “is committed to debating Joe Biden regardless of last-minute rule changes.” Stepien said the debates commission was “biased” and was trying to “provide an advantage to their favored candidate.”
Earlier on Monday, the commission issued a statement saying that Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden will have their microphones muted for parts of the upcoming debate in Nashville.
