ABC's moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis conducted an unfair and unbalanced debate that heavily favored the Democrats, according to critics. Muir dismissed criticism of ABC's performance as 'noise' and stated that the most important thing to remember is that voters have the power. Allegations of bias arose when an anonymous whistleblower claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris received questions in advance. ABC hired former Democratic Party chair Donna Brazile as a contributor, who had previously sent topics to Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2016. Critics argue that ABC's fact-checking only targeted former President Donald Trump and ignored Harris's false claims.
