The debate is not a done deal. TSF wants muted mikes and Kamala wants open mikes.
TSF's statement that the debate is set was self-contradictory. He said the same rules as the Biden debate, but the Biden debate had open mikes and TSF wants muted mikes.
If I were Kamala I would not cave because this is important. In the Biden debate when TSF was asked a tough question, he just ignored it and talked about something else. With open mikes when TSF ignores a question Kamala can butt in and say, "answer the question, answer the question."

You might want to amend your post accordingly.
