Claiming ABC News was blatantly partisan in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris going into the presidential debate, a Republican senator is demanding the network turn over any communications it exchanged with Harris’ campaign before she took the stage with former President Donald Trump.
“On debate night, it became abundantly clear that ABC News and its respective moderators had a biased agenda,” Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, wrote in a letter to ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic and Harris’ campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodriguez.
“Over 67 million Americans watched as a policy exchange between two presidential candidates quickly turned into a three-on-one debate against the Republican nominee,” Marshall added in the letter first reported by NewsNation.
Trump and allies have roundly complained that ABC News fact-checked the former president several times during the live broadcast while letting Harris go unchallenged. Some Trump supporters have gone further, alleging ABC News tipped Harris off to questions and treated her with kid gloves in the matchup.
ABC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter. Marshall’s request for documents carries no force of law and so far does not have the support of fellow Republicans.
This **** is really getting old and boring...I cannot wait to dispense of this nonsense in November!!
About time. A toddler can see the obvious differences between her responses when she doesn't have the questions in advance vs when she does. She obviously had them. Then they should hit ABC (and outlets like yours) with FEC violations for in-kind contributions.

you know things are bad when the best they can do is highly edit her response to something that is STILL little more than simply buzz-word laden jibberish that makes very little sense and still doesn't address the question.
Let's see the whistleblower first. My prediction...won't happen.

They can't accept the fact that Harris wiped the floor with Trump at the debate. This same senator will probably support a civil war or just simple political violence. Disgusting.
@NegotiationZoeTranshumanist7mos7MO
Republican Senators will hold another hearing to farm clip and use in their reelection campaigns. But will be the result? Nothing. Republicans are just the controlled opposition. Trump 2024, but **** the Republicans in general.
@7MQTC43Constitution7mos7MO
What the hell is wrong with Republicans?
Why can't they just accept defeat like normal grown-up adults?
@9TQSLNY 7mos7MO
How about accepting both sides play dirty and wait to see the facts before pontificating on the "obvious". There appears to have been affidavit, pre debate, wherein an abc employee gives sworn testimony that abc cheated for Harris. Is it real? Is it true? Let's follow facts not guesses.
