The ABC News moderators were great. No, actually they were a “disgraceful failure,” They cut off Kamala Harris too much. No, actually they corrected Donald Trump unfairly.
In the end, Trump logged 43 minutes, 3 seconds of time talking, while Harris had 37:41, according to a count by The New York Times.The debate's stakes were high to begin with — not only because of the impending election itself but because the last presidential debate in June — between Trump and sitting President Joe Biden, whose performance was roundly panned — uncorked a series of events that ended several weeks later with Biden's withdrawal from the race and Harris stepping in.
Toward the end of the debate, CNN fact checker Daniel Dale said on social media that “Trump has been staggeringly dishonest and Harris has been overwhelmingly factual.”As is often the case in debates, the moderators often saw specific questions go unanswered. Harris, for example, was asked to address Trump's criticism that the U.S. Justice Department has been weaponized against him. She did not. She also skirted questions about changes to some of her past positions on issues.
Answering online critics who complained ABC stacked the deck in Harris' favor, Atlantic writer James Surowiecki wrote that “the way they ‘rigged’ the debate is by letting hang himself with his own stream of consciousness rambles.”On Fox News Channel, anchor Martha MacCallum said after the debate that Harris “was never really held to the fire." Commentator Brit Hume agreed with her, but said something else was at play.
