Kamala Harris: Harris vs. Trump debate: ABC News co-host's connection to Kamala infuriates MAGA | World news

During the last night Presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, ABC News journalist Linsey Davis co-hosted with David Muir. Davis has a remarkable connection to Harris, as both are members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Davis joined the Theta Kappa chapter while attending the University of Virginia, where she earned a bachelor's degree before completing a master's degree in communications at New York University.
Davis has built an impressive career at ABC News, working on major programs such as World news tonight, Good morning America, 20/20And Nightline.Until 2021 she became presenter of the Sunday edition of World news tonightand her workload grew in 2022 when she began presenting top stories for ABC News Radio's national newscast. In addition to her Sunday role, Davis now hosts the weekday primetime show ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis and often hosts other major shows such as Good morning America.
Since 2019, Davis has been a key figure in co-hosting major political events, including presidential debates and election coverage, alongside prominent journalists such as George Stephanopoulos and David Muir. Her political coverage has made her a familiar and trusted face for viewers at major national events. In addition to her career as a host, Davis is also a New York Times bestselling author and has written four children's books, including Stay like this forever And How high is the sky?She has received prestigious awards, including two Emmys and an Edward R. Murrow Award.
Despite Davis' professional recognition, her role as moderator of this debate sparked several republicanwho questioned her impartiality due to her AKA ties to Kamala Harris. Rachel Campos-Duffy tweeted: “How did I not know Debate moderator @LinseyDavis was Kamala's AKA sorority sister until today? Not right. There's no way #ABC would let a Trump brother moderate last night's #debate!” The comment underscores the perception of bias and suggests that a similar scenario with a Trump-aligned moderator would not be allowed.
Another Twitter user, @lbgray3, raised doubts about the fairness of the debate, writing: “No coincidence that @LinseyDavis co-moderated @KamalaHarris and Trump's debate on @ABC. They are sorority sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Tell me Kamala didn't have the questions ahead of time.” This tweet reflected broader concerns among Republicans that the debate process may have been skewed in Harris's favor.
Similarly, TikTok liberals suggested that Davis' personal connection to Harris may have influenced the outcome of the debate, expressing Republicans' frustration with what they saw as media double standards. Many argued that there would have been immediate backlash if a moderator with ties to Trump had been chosen.
These criticisms contribute to the ongoing debates about Media biaspolitical affiliation and their influence on major events such as presidential debates. Republicans are demanding more transparency and fairness in the selection of moderators and are questioning the impartiality of both the moderators and the debate process itself.
