Moderators in the 2024 debate did not intervene to fact-check candidates, with lies and half-truths, especially from Trump, going unchallenged. Biden occasionally pushed back without specifics, resulting in lingering falsehoods post-debate.
CNN stated moderators wouldn't fact-check before the event, aiming to facilitate a debate between Trump and Biden. Despite some pushback between the candidates, the debate's light moderation allowed misleading statements to persist.
Trump's claim about Democrats and abortion until birth was debunked, as less than 1% of abortions in the US occur at or past 21 weeks. The false assertion about Roe v Wade was highlighted against its longstanding popularity. The environment claims made by Trump lacked clear evidence.
