The Trump campaign wants the Biden campaign to allow a third party to inspect the ears of the debaters for electronic devices or transmitters. The President has consented to this inspection, but Biden has not – so far. (2/3)

So far.
But wait! There’s reportedly still more:
The Biden campaign requested two breaks (one every thirty minutes) during tonight’s program, which was denied by their Trump counterparts, in negotiations over the last several weeks. (3/3)

Wait, he’s seriously asking for two breaks for a 90 minute debate?

If these reports are true, well, this is not a great look for the Biden campaign. As usual.
