Both campaigns believe that a debate presents an opportunity for them. And so, it was always likely that the various points of disagreement would be resolved, and that the debate scheduled for Tuesday of next week would move forward. Yesterday, the Harris-Walz campaign dropped its demand that the candidates' microphones be live throughout the debate. So, it looks like we're full steam ahead.
Quite a few readers have already written in to ask if we'll do a bingo-style game again. Since the demand is there, sure we will. However, please help us out by suggesting possible bingo-square items (e.g., "Trump says the word 'unfair,'" someone mentions Barack Obama, etc.) at comments@electoral-vote.com, ideally with subject line "Bingo."
