Following the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris earlier this week, accusations have emerged claiming ABC News exhibited extreme bias, with some alleging that Harris had prior access to the debate questions.
The debate, held on Tuesday night and moderated by ABC News’ David Muir and Linsey Davis, has come under fire from Trump and his supporters.
They argue that the moderators disproportionately targeted Trump while displaying favoritism towards Harris.
The situation intensified online when an individual claiming to be a whistleblower used the X account @DocNetyoutube to announce the forthcoming release of an affidavit, which purportedly proves the debate was manipulated.
“I will be releasing an affidavit from an ABC whistleblower regarding the debate. I have just signed a non-disclosure agreement with the attorney of the whistleblower,” the X account shared.
Several conservative influencers, including @MilaLovesJoe, @ChuckCallesto, and @RealBenGeller—collectively amassing over a million followers—quickly spread the whistleblower’s claims.
They argued that the Democratic candidate was provided with questions that were “essentially the same” as those asked during the debate, and that there was a commitment to fact-check Trump.
Building on the success of her debate performance, Harris’ campaign swiftly proposed another debate, with Fox News offering to host it.
However, Trump rejected the idea. In a post on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon, Trump alleged that Harris was pushing for another debate because he had “clearly” won the first one.

Earlier in the week, when asked whether he would consider a second debate with Harris, Trump responded, “I just don’t know.” Some within the Republican Party, including Senate GOP leader John Thune, have been encouraging Trump to engage Harris again in another debate.
Though Trump may change his stance, his current refusal suggests that Tuesday’s debate could be the only direct exchange between the two candidates before the November election. The event drew an audience of over 67 million viewers.
At a rally in North Carolina on Thursday, Harris expressed that she and Trump “owe it to voters” to participate in another debate.
This week’s debate marked the first encounter between Trump and Harris, with the vice president largely steering the conversation. She successfully provoked Trump into making emotional responses, some of which included exaggerations and inaccuracies.
The debate occurred two months after Trump’s previous face-off with Joe Biden, where Biden’s shaky performance and unclear responses resulted in him ending his reelection bid and endorsing Harris as his successor.
The meeting on Tuesday was the inaugural confrontation between Trump and Harris, with Harris mostly dictating the flow of the debate.
Her strategy of provoking Trump led to heated replies filled with exaggerations and false claims.

This clash came two months after Trump’s debate with Biden, whose faltering performance prompted pressure from Democratic leaders to drop out of the race.
Following his withdrawal, Biden threw his support behind Harris as the new candidate.
