Former President Donald Trump has called for ABC News to be stripped of its broadcast license following his contentious debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump, who claimed the debate was rigged, criticized the moderators for fact-checking his statements while allegedly giving Harris a pass. He expressed strong displeasure with ABC News, accusing them of dishonesty and bias, and stated that CNN had conducted a more honorable debate in the past. Various post-debate polls indicated that viewers believed Harris performed better, with a CNN poll showing her as the 63-37 winner. Trump's comments have sparked alarm among some commentators who view his threats as authoritarian and reminiscent of dictatorial tendencies.
