On Wednesday's broadcast of Newsmax TV's "The Record," Commission on Presidential Debates Co-Founder and Co-Chair Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., who also was Chair of the RNC, stated the performance by moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis was "the worst performance that I've seen" and that they "clearly were oversized, I think, on the way they treated" 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and "bent backwards to help" 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.
