The September 10 debate between Trump and Harris was anything but a calm political discourse. The fiery exchange, moderated by ABC News’ David Muir and Linsey Davis, became a flashpoint for claims of bias. While many mainstream media outlets declared Harris the clear winner of the debate, a growing number of critics have cast doubt on the impartiality of the moderators.
Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., a prominent figure and co-founder of the Commission on Presidential Debates, voiced his concerns. He criticized the moderators’ approach during the debate, saying they overstepped their role. “What really shocked me last night was the way the moderators handled it,” Fahrenkopf stated. “You know, we always explain to our moderators — and we’ve done 33 of these debates, starting back in 1988 — that their job is to be facilitators. They’re not supposed to get involved themselves.”
Fahrenkopf’s critique echoes the sentiments of many Trump supporters, who feel that the mainstream media has shown a consistent bias against the former president. These claims are not new, but they have taken on renewed significance as Trump’s poll numbers rise and the race tightens.
Trump’s post-debate momentum is a clear indicator that his message is resonating with a broad swath of voters, particularly in key battleground states. The significant polling lead in Pennsylvania and Michigan, both of which were critical to his 2016 victory, is a sign that Trump’s ground game and outreach efforts are paying off. The election is still a few months away, but if these trends continue, the former president could find himself in an even stronger position as the race enters its final stages.
For Harris, the challenge ahead is formidable. With Trump riding high on his debate performance and a growing lead in the polls, she will need to double down on her campaign efforts to make up lost ground. As one social media commentator noted, “Harris is going to need to do a huge public campaign to get any traction back, and she isn’t built for it.”

As Trump’s numbers rise, so too do concerns about election integrity. Accusations of potential voter fraud are already beginning to surface, particularly in states like Michigan. “They are going to have to cheat really hard in Michigan. They can pull it off. But it’s going to require a lot of cardboard,” read one of the more cynical takes circulating on social media.
While there is no concrete evidence of widespread fraud at this point, the rhetoric is reminiscent of the 2020 election cycle, where accusations of ballot tampering and election interference became a major issue. Whether these concerns will play a role in the 2024 election remains to be seen, but the narrative is already taking shape.
With Trump surging in the polls and dominating post-debate headlines, the 2024 election is heating up fast. His lead in key battleground states and his commanding presence on the debate stage have given him a renewed sense of momentum. For Harris and her supporters, the challenge ahead is clear: they must counter Trump’s gains and find a way to connect with voters before it’s too late. Meanwhile, allegations of bias and election integrity concerns are likely to only add fuel to an already fiery campaign season. As the race toward November continues, all eyes will be on the next development in this high-stakes battle for the White House.
