During the debate on Tuesday, Trump was fact-checked several times by moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis from ABC News, while Harris faced no such scrutiny. In a phone interview with Fox and Friends, Trump labeled the debate as a &#8220;rigged deal&#8221; and claimed he performed &#8220;great&#8221; despite what he perceived as an unfair 3-to-1 bias against him. He stated, &#8220;I have a list of seven different things&#8230; every time I spoke, they\u2019d correct me while she could say anything she wanted. I thought it was terrible.&#8221; He further criticized ABC News as being one of the most dishonest news organizations. When asked why Harris wasn&#8217;t fact-checked for her inaccuracies during the debate, Trump suggested that it was due to dishonesty on their part and even proposed that ABC should lose its Federal Communications Commission license for their conduct during the event. He remarked that they had lost significant credibility as a news organization. Additionally, Trump commended CNN for its more honorable handling of a previous debate with President Joe Biden in June. Following the conclusion of the debate, Harris&#8217;s campaign called for another round; however, Trump&#8217;s campaign has not quickly responded about participating in another one. When directly asked about future debates, Trump expressed uncertainty but indicated he might be less inclined to participate again since he felt they had won this one against what he described as a terrible network. Trump&#8217;s campaign has suggested three debates total\u2014one scheduled with NBC News on September 25\u2014while Harris&#8217;s team is advocating for another October debate without specifying which network would host it. Both campaigns have agreed to hold a vice presidential debate between Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D.
