Harris campaign agrees to ABC presidential debate rules with some 'assurances:'

Vice President Kamala Harris agreed to the final rules for the ABC News debate against former President Trump, allegedly following a few "assurances" from the network.

On Wednesday, ABC News released the official rules for Tuesday's debate between Harris and Trump, including the hotly contested rule that microphones be muted while a candidate is speaking.

The Harris campaign repeatedly pushed back on this rule, attempting to goad Trump into backing out of the original agreement to mute mics, even refusing to sign off on the rules last week in an attempt to renegotiate. 

CNN reported Wednesday that Harris accepted the rules after receiving separate "assurances" that mics could be turned on during the debate and the moderators would explain unheard exchanges.
