The ABC presidential debate between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris began at 9 p.m. on Tuesday. While Trump discussed abortion and IVF, viewers quickly noticed Harris was speaking, sparking criticism over why her mic was "unmuted" when debate rules required it to be off during Trump's turn.
"Her mic is working when it should be muted & she was able to interrupt. What’s up with that???" one person asked.
Another asked, "Kamala is so fake I can’t stand watching her. And why was her mic unmuted??"

A third person commented, "They unmuted her mic so she could interrupt trump."
Another person wrote, "You liars said mics would be muted. Trump was asked to respond and you let Kamala’s mic stay on."
