President Trump calls shutting off mics "completely unfair," but his campaign says he'll be at Thursday's debate

The New York Times

The Commission on Presidential Debates announced Monday it will shut off either Donald Trump or Joe Biden's mics while the other is giving a two-minute opening statement for each of the six debate topics during Thursday's final presidential debate. In response late Monday, Trump told reporters on Air Force One “I just think it is very unfair,” according to a pool report. He added: “It is very unfair that again we have an anchor who is totally biased.” In a statement, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said: "President Trump is committed to debating Joe Biden regardless of last minute rule changes from the biased commission in their latest attempt to provide advantage to their favored candidate."
