President Donald Trump claimed the first 2024 presidential debate was stacked against him, accusing ABC News moderators of creating a “three on one” scenario. Trump pointed out that moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis repeatedly fact-checked him but let Vice President Kamala Harris’ false claims go unchecked.
Davis interrupted Trump to challenge his statements about post-birth abortion, while Muir fact-checked his comments on Haitian immigrants. However, when Harris falsely claimed that Trump opposed in vitro fertilization, neither moderator corrected her, leading Trump to label the debate “three on one” on Truth Social.
Conservative viewers, including Donald Trump Jr., took to social media to express frustration over the uneven fact-checking. Many felt that the moderators were more focused on undermining Trump than holding Harris accountable for her own false statements.
Throughout the debate, Harris made several claims about Trump, including debunked accusations regarding Charlottesville and the military. These statements were not fact-checked, further fueling Trump’s accusation of bias.
The debate, held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, has raised concerns about media fairness in the 2024 election. Trump’s supporters are echoing his call for a more balanced approach in future debates.
