Republican senator demands ABC News turn over debate communications with Harris campaign: 'Biased agenda'

A Republican senator demanded in a letter on Wednesday that ABC News turn over any correspondence it may have had with the Kamala Harris campaign ahead of last week's debate, alleging there was a clear bias on display against former President 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 to ABC News President ​​Almin Karamehmedovic and Harris’ campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodriguez, in a letter reported by NewsNation.

Marshall said there was a "three-on-one" onslaught against Trump, echoing the Republican's complaints about the debate moderated by ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis.

The debate, which political pundits widely called a victory for Harris, featured five fact-checks of Trump in real time by the moderators, while Harris was never fact-checked on any of her remarks.

According to NewsNation, Marshall's letter wants the media organization to turn over and also publicly release any texts and emails to dispel any concerns about advance coordination.

"The American people deserve transparency and accountability from the mainstream media and a full accounting of whether ABC News coordinated with the Harris campaign to skew the debate’s questions and fact-checking in favor of the Vice President," he wrote.

Marshall's letter cannot compel ABC News to do anything, the report noted. ABC News didn't respond to a request for comment.
