Fox News’ Chris Wallace, the moderator of the first debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden this week, said he doesn’t agree with proposals to give moderators the authority to cut candidates’ microphones.

In an interview with the New York Times following Tuesday night’s debate, Wallace argued that even if the candidates’ microphones are muted, they could still interrupt each other and “disrupt the proceedings.”
