Moderator Linsey Davis Makes Fans Drool Over Her Debate Look as Trump Supporters Reveal Her Relationship with Kamala Harris
Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris met in Philadelphia for the 2024 presidential debate, two months before the presidential election.
Between the expected barbs exchanged between the candidates and talk of policy plans — or lack thereof — the highly anticipated event definitely kept many viewers interested and alert on the evening of September 10.
But who also looked as if it would steal the show through the debate was moderator and Emmy-winning presenter Linsey Davis. She has been with ABC since 2007 and currently hosts “ABC News Live Prime” and “World News Tonight.”
Davis, the girl who so quickly debunked Trump’s claims on abortion — after he claimed that some states allow “ninth-month abortions” and permit the execution of kids after they’re born — not only stole a few of the debate highlight with her quick fact-checking, but in addition drew attention for her beauty.
One X user compared her appearance to that of Vice President Harris, saying, “If I was asked about the debate, I would say Kamala came in second place right behind Linsey Davis because her bargaining chip didn’t throw her away and her costume was understated yet powerful.”
Davis co-hosted the controversy alongside fellow ABC News anchor David Muir, looking sharp and incisive in a pinstriped gray suit and a lighter gray shirt.
Like the Democratic presidential candidate, apart from the side part, Davis also wore her hair in a rather curled, shoulder-length style. The 46-year-old opted for her usual natural, glam search for her makeup, wearing a light-weight, nude-pink lip gloss and a natural-colored eyeshadow.
Another X user complimented Davis’ look, writing, “Side note… her face is everything. The hair was special on the Olivia Pope Blowout. Those shoulder pads were stronger than all of Trump’s arguments. Linsey did NOT come to play.”
And a 3rd person wrote: “Linsey Davis is unbelievably beautiful. The face card doesn’t say no.”
Many cheered for Davis even as she cleverly questioned Trump’s debate preparation by asking him about his policy plans.
The former president became enraged by a gap query about each candidate’s plans for the Affordable Care Act, so she asked, “So it’s just yes or no, you still don’t have a plan?”
The 78-year-old responded in typical Trump fashion, saying: “I have ideas for a plan. I’m not the president right now. But if we come up with something, I would only change it if we come up with something better and cheaper. And we have ideas and options to do that. And you’ll hear about that in the very near future.”
Kudos to Lindsey Davis for speaking out against Trump’s lie: “There is no state where it is legal to kill a baby after birth.” #PresidentialDebate pic.twitter.com/rpYVq5pxoI

Despite the praise, not everyone was pleased with Davis’ performance as moderator. Amid the net compliments, Davis also received some shocking responses, including many claiming bias was involved because Davis and Harris are members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
One observer said, “ABC debate moderator Linsey Davis happens to be Kamala Harris’ sorority sister. The whole system is counterfeit!”
Another said, “David and Linsey put on a disgusting display of bias.”
Davis obtained from the University of Virginia, where she joined the Theta Kappa Chapter of AKA, although that 12 months is unknown. She also has a master’s degree from New York University.
Harris became AKA in 1986, during her senior 12 months at Howard University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree. She later attended and graduated from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.
