Presidential debates are remembered for the candidates’ pithy one-liners. But in the chaotic political landscape of 2024, a simple statement of fact served as the showstopper on Tuesday’s showdown between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” said ABC News moderator Linsey Davis in the matter-of-fact style familiar to viewers who watch her on the Sunday edition of “ABC World News Tonight” and her nightly streaming newscast “ABC News Live Prime.”
Her correction was a response to Trump’s claim that the Democratic Party’s support of abortion rights includes “executing” an infant after it’s born, something he has repeatedly said on the campaign trail. In an era in which misinformation spreads fast and furious, Davis’ real-time fact check cut through the proceedings like a sharp blade.
With co-moderator David Muir, Davis had studied hours of campaign rallies and interviews to prepare for the much-anticipated event at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center, and were ready to counter the candidates’ most egregious statements.
Davis, wearing pink glasses while speaking to The Times over breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, said the decision to attempt to correct the candidates was in response to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led to his exit from the race.

She was a shill and should be fired..................
There's nothing "matter-of-fact", nor is it a "correction" to say something that is not accurate. Why does she think "born alive infant protection" acts have been getting passed - with opposition?
Nor is that the role of a moderator...if something is to be disputed of a candidate, that is the opposing candidate's role in rebuttal.
Linsey Davis is a reprehensible sack of “pet” excrement and should be fired and blacklisted.
Tell the Haitians she’s a cat, and we’ll be shut of her.
… Davis had studied hours of campaign rallies and interviews to prepare for the much-anticipated event…
There are no Harris interviews to review. Proof that they were only looking to nail Trump.
OTOH, ABC will promote her.
Trump never said there was.
Davis “fact-checked” a “fact” never uttered.
She’s a disgrace and nothing more than a hack for the ‘rats.
It’s worth a try!
Election Interference.
Linsey Davis is the whistleblower.
By being a woke black female at a fortuitous moment in American history.

Imagine studying for hours and still f***ing up that bad on your nationwide debut.
She looks like a total bitch.
Willie Brown’s Mattress word-saladed during a short interview with GayBC’s Brian Taff, and they cut that part out and spliced in another segment.
She should have learned to fellate her way up the ladder like the Vice Prostitute.
You forgot to add the BARF alert...
Lap dog du jour.
Anybody ever watch a show called “MXC?” They took a Japanese challenge show and dubbed it in English to make it funny. Of course the contestants aren’t saying those things if it was really translated. She reminds me of an excited Japanese girl who runs up to the camera and declares “my mom calls me butterface.” That’s Linsey Davis.
These people are pathetic.
