Presidential Debate Deadlock

CNN
About this episode

First: The Harris and Trump campaigns are once again bickering over the high-stakes debate scheduled for September 10th, this time over muted microphones. But is the former president on the same page as his own campaign? 

Plus: JD Vance, who previously endorsed a nationwide ban on abortion, does an about-face and says Donald Trump would "absolutely" veto a federal abortion ban. 

And: And with RFK Jr. out of the presidential contest, will his supporters follow him to Trump, and are there enough of them to make a difference?
