Body language experts allege that ABC News moderators exhibited bias toward Vice President Kamala Harris during the recent ABC News Presidential Debate.
Body language experts have expressed concern over alleged bias against former President Donald Trump and in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris during the ABC News Presidential Debate.
During a special post-debate town hall broadcast with Dr. Phil, renowned body language experts Scott Rouse and Greg Hartley analyzed the interactions between the candidates and moderators. Both experts asserted that the moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, displayed a clear preference for Harris.

"When asked whether they saw bias from moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis in Tuesday's debate, Hartley said they were against former President Trump," Dr. Phil reported.
According to Hartley, the moderators' facial expressions and body language revealed a bias against Trump. "There was clearly a bias against Trump in their faces," he stated.

Rouse also pointed out that the moderators interrupted Trump multiple times, even as he attempted to complete his answers. "At the same time, we're seeing the commentators, they would be speaking at the same time President Trump was. So as he's trying to finish his answer, they would keep- they would not only answer, they would keep talking as well," Rouse said.
Rouse further suggested that the moderators may have deliberately adjusted the audio levels to make Trump appear more aggressive. "And you can tell, I believe, if I'm correct here, the volume of [Trump's] microphone might have been a little bit ‘hotter’ than everybody else's," Rouse said. "That's why he sounded so loud. He was speaking loudly, but I think you'll hear this when you listen back- this is my opinion."

The experts also noted that the moderators asked fact-checking follow-up questions to Trump but not to Harris. "In each of these questions to Trump, there were fact-check, follow-up questions. And I didn't hear that to Harris," Hartley said. "Nor did I," Hartley said.
Hartley emphasized that the moderators should have posed similar questions to both candidates in a neutral manner. "I thought it was a little heavy-handed at times, just my opinion," he said.
