While the Democratic party and staunch supporters of President Biden wrestled with his dismal debate performance and his future as the party's nominee for president, some House Democrats took aim at the debate moderators for not offering more pushback against former President Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden, right, and Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, participate in a presidential debate hosted by CNN, Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Atlanta. While the Democratic party and staunch supporters of President Biden wrestled with his dismal debate performance and his future as the party’s nominee for president, some House Democrats took aim at the debate moderators for not offering more pushback against former President Donald Trump.
Republicans, including Mr. Trump, lauded the moderators, CNN’s Dana Bash and Jake Tapper, for treating the former president “very fairly.” “Let’s have another debate where, actually, the moderators will push back on Donald Trump’s lies,” Mr. Goldman said. “He intimidated your network, unfortunately. And there was no pushback. He was given free rein to just lie as much as he wants and that’s not helpful to the American public either.”
“I think it’s crazy to have a debate where the largest serial liar in American politics goes unchecked by moderators, the moderators should be the first pushing back on lies and fact checking,” said Mr. Garcia, California Democrat. “We already know by fact checking organizations and almost everything he said was a lie.”
