Republican senator calls for ABC News to disclose debate communications with Harris campaign: 'Unfair treatment'

On Wednesday, a Republican senator wrote a letter to ABC News, requesting any communication they had with the Kamala Harris campaign prior to the debate last week, accusing them of displaying a clear bias against former President Trump.

It was evident on debate night that ABC News and its moderators harbored a biased agenda, as stated by Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, in a letter to ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic and Harris' campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez, as reported by NewsNation.

According to Marshall, the "three-on-one" attack on Trump during the ABC debate, moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis, mirrored the Republican's allegations.

While Harris was never fact-checked on any of her remarks during the debate, the moderators conducted five real-time fact-checks of Trump.

Marshall's letter demands that NewsNation release any texts and emails to prove there was no coordination.

The Vice President called for transparency and accountability from the mainstream media, including ABC News, regarding whether they coordinated with the Harris campaign to manipulate the debate's questions and fact-checking in favor of the Vice President.

ABC News did not respond to a request for comment on Marshall's letter, which could not force them to take any action, according to the report.

During a rally in Las Vegas last week, Trump suggested that Harris had obtained the debate questions ahead of time, despite his initial claim of victory and subsequent criticism for an uneven performance.

"I heard she got the questions and also had something in her ear," Trump said.

This week, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., criticized ABC for not correcting Kamala Harris' false statement during the debate that no member of the US military was in an active combat or war zone.

He wrote on X that this surpasses bias and is a media company actively supporting the Harris campaign.

According to ABC's Martha Raddatz, fact-checkers have determined that the statement is false.

""The U.S. military has 900 personnel in Syria and 2,500 troops in Iraq, all of whom have been under threat from drones and missiles for months. Additionally, the Navy SEALs and Delta Forces special operators are frequently involved in deadly raids in the Red Sea," she stated."

On "Live With Kelly and Mark" on Monday, ABC's "World News Tonight" anchor Muir discussed the debate and its aftermath.

The most important thing to remember is that you all have the power, as the noise about the debate results and moderator performance is just irrelevant, and you are aware of it.

The Trump and Harris campaigns didn't return requests for comment.
