In a rare moment during the debate, moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-checked Trump’s most outrageous claims in real-time, receiving positive feedback for their efforts. They directly addressed his false assertions, such as the bizarre accusation about immigrants stealing and eating pets and the unfounded claim of post-birth abortions, effectively challenging him and informing viewers about the inaccuracies in his statements. This intervention likely contributed to Harris being viewed as the debate winner.
Trump alleged that ABC News should be punished for their handling of the debate, claiming they engaged in biased attacks against him. In an interview, he suggested that the network should have its license revoked for their coverage, expressing frustration over how they fact-checked his statements during the debate. This reflects a larger trend where Trump dismisses criticism and challenges the legitimacy of media outlets that report unfavorably on him.
