Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has advised former President Donald Trump to proceed with his plans to debate Vice President Kamala Harris next month, even if he has to agree to “whatever stupid rules” her campaign wants.

The former president has cast doubt with comments about his participation in the next presidential debate, which is currently set for Sept. 10. Trump told his followers on Truth Social to “stay tuned.” Meanwhile, a recent report has claimed the Harris campaign is requesting ABC News, the network hosting the debate, to change its rules for microphones at the debate to allow them to stay on at all times rather than muting the microphone of the candidate not talking, similar to how CNN conducted its debate earlier this year.
