Tonight’s debate will be moderated by ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir and ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis.
David Muir
Muir, 50, has been with ABC since 2003 and anchor of ABC World News Tonight since 2014. He moderated presidential primary debates for the network in 2016 and 2020.
Muir has also done interviews with politicians from both sides of the political aisle, including a June interview with President Biden for the network’s D-Day coverage. Muir had the first joint interview with then-Vice President Biden and his running mate, then-Sen. Kamala Harris, weeks before the 2020 election.
He was also the first journalist to interview Trump as president in the White House in 2017.
Linsey Davis
Davis, 46, has been with ABC since 2007 and moderated Democratic presidential primary debates in 2019 and 2020.
But she is lesser known than Muir, hosting ABC News Live Prime, the network’s nightly streaming newscast, and ABC World News Tonight on Sundays.
Davis has interviewed dozens of politicians, including Harris and former Vice President Mike Pence, and numerous celebrities. According to her official bio on ABC’s website, Davis “got the only interview with comedian Bill Cosby in the wake of dozens of sexual assault allegations.”
