ABC News tried, and failed, to single-handedly tip the scales against Donald Trump in Tuesday's presidential debate. The network's moderators relentlessly "fact-checked" Trump while giving his opponent mostly a free pass. This left-leaning favoritism left Trump fighting a three-on-one battle, as noted by the former president and his supporters. The lopsided scrutiny reinforced long-standing beliefs about mainstream media's anti-conservative agenda — the American people don't need to witness another biased debate circus.

Vice President Harris soundly won the ABC-hosted debate. By exposing Trump's weak grasp of facts, xenophobia, dangerous positions, and impulsive behavior, Harris made a bold statement to the American people. Because this race is still so tight in the polls, Americans deserve another square-off to further expose Trump's flaws. If a final debate comes to pass, it should follow ABC's lead, which demonstrated that maintaining neutrality is possible while holding candidates accountable for their statements.
