"President Trump's campaign intends to monitor the technician in charge of the mute button at Thursday night's final presidential debate. The Commission on Presidential Debates announced this week that it will exercise its ability to mute Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, if either candidate talks outside their allotted two-minute time slot. The new debate format follows the first presidential debate, which was marred by Trump and Biden speaking over and interrupting each other, with Trump insulting Biden's intelligence and Biden telling Trump to 'shut up' and calling him a 'clown.'"
"In a statement Monday, the commission said it 'had determined that it is appropriate to adopt measures intended to promote adherence to agreed-upon rules and inappropriate to make changes to those rules.' While both campaigns have the option to have a representative monitor the technician operating the mute button, only Trump's campaign confirmed with Fox News that it plans to do so. A spokesperson for Biden's team confirmed that they have not committed to having someone monitor the technician" – Fox News.
