“Look, we’ve been doing debates for a long time,” said an ABC spokesperson, speaking on behalf of the network. “But this time, we might have gotten it wrong. We made a mistake.” It’s rare to see a major network concede defeat in such a public way, but given the ratings nosedive, they had little choice.

The debate in question featured a showdown between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. On paper, it was supposed to be one of the most pivotal political events of the year, with both candidates eager to sway undecided voters.
