    Harris isn’t using the debate to win over Trump supporters. That ship has sailed. She is using the debate to win over swing voters and motivate her own supporters.

    Polls show swing voters don’t like it when Trump interrupts people, and it can motivate (ie enrage) her own supporters.

      I hope this is true, but there are definitely many swing voters who consider Trump’s bullshit to be how tough people behave , and it makes them more likely to vote for him. If that weren’t the case I doubt he would have been elected.

        I suspect ultimately Harris will agree to mute mics and just use Trump’s reluctance to ridicule him.
