Tuesday night’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris could have been a mess of layered talking, unchallenged claims and wild veers off-topic. Instead, ABC’s moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, kept the candidates on point.
Muir and Davis took on the first matchup between the two presidential candidates, who are virtually tied in the polls, seeking to “enforce timing agreements and ensure a civilized discussion”, according to debate rules from ABC that took weeks to negotiate. It was no easy task.
