The Facts

  • Former US President Donald Trump Thursday said he won't participate in a second presidential candidates' debate against Vice President Kamala Harris before polls.

  • In a Truth Social post two days after facing Harris and over two months after debating Pres. Jo Biden, Trump posted: "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!"


The Spin

Biased ABC News single-handedly tipped the scales against Donald Trump in Tuesday's presidential debate. The network's moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, relentlessly fact-checked Trump while giving his opponent a free pass. This blatant favoritism left Trump fighting a three-on-one battle, as noted by his supporters and the candidate himself. The lopsided scrutiny reinforced long-standing beliefs about mainstream media's anti-conservative agenda.

The ABC News moderators delivered a masterclass in presidential debate moderation on Tuesday. Their deft handling of the high-stakes encounter between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showcased journalistic integrity at its finest. By providing real-time fact-checking without being intrusive, they struck a delicate balance between allowing candidates to express themselves and ensuring accuracy. They set a new standard, demonstrating that it's possible to maintain neutrality while still holding candidates accountable for their statements.
