They claim that the moderators\u2019 bias was evident in the way they questioned the candidates, with Trump\u2019s allies accusing them of favouring Harris throughout the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe debate was rigged from the start,\u201d said a Trump spokesperson. \u201cThe moderators were biased in favour of Kamala Harris. It was like they were working for her campaign. Despite that, Trump managed to make his points and show why he should be president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics within Trump\u2019s circle pointed to moments where they felt Harris was given more time to speak and received less challenging questions compared to Trump. They argue that the moderators\u2019 approach reflected a pro-Democratic bias, which they believe unfairly tilted the debate in Harris\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Harris\u2019s campaign and supporters have praised her performance, highlighting her ability to address Trump\u2019s attacks and stay focused on her policy agenda. They argue that the moderators were fair and that Harris demonstrated a commanding presence and clear vision for the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just another example of Trump\u2019s attempt to undermine the democratic process by attacking anyone who doesn\u2019t align with his views,\u201d said a Harris campaign representative. \u201cThe moderators did their job, and Kamala Harris was able to effectively communicate her plans and respond to Trump\u2019s criticisms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The debate\u2019s aftermath has seen both sides digging in their heels. Trump\u2019s allies continue to argue that the debate was biased, using it as a rallying point to galvanize their base. Meanwhile, Harris\u2019s supporters are focusing on her strong debate performance and the substantive policy discussions that took place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allies of Donald Trump are claiming victory in the recent debate, while criticizing the moderators as biased \u201cpro-Kamala activists\u201d who unfairly supported Vice President Harris throughout the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":386,"featured_media":51439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[15102,17154,17151,168,16770,479,17152,15464,17153,15228],"class_list":["post-51436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-2024-election","tag-debate-criticism","tag-debate-victory","tag-donald-trump","tag-harris-campaign","tag-kamala-harris","tag-moderator-bias","tag-political-debate","tag-pro-kamala-activists","tag-trump-allies"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/386"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
