Just a few months ago, Kamala Harris was deemed a Titanic-sized anchor that weighed down the Joe Biden ticket, with historically poor favorability ratings. Then, on July 21, when the Deep State told Joe Biden to walk the plank, Harris became the defaultcandidate. In polite terms, the Democrats were stuck with her. She checked off the right DEI boxes as the number two — but to lead the ticket?

MRC conducted a study on the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts and their coverage of Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump from July 21 to Oct. 25. As certain as death and taxes, the coverage showed a clear bias. MRC’s analysis reviewed 660 stories about the presidential campaigns and found that the media’s queen-elect received 78% positive coverage to Trump’s 85% negative — a 164% spread in favor of Harris.

To illustrate how the networks have flipped their collective wigs over a potential second Trump term, consider this: in 2016, Trump and his then-challenger, Hillary Clinton, received predominantly negative coverage, with 91% negativity for Trump and 79% for Clinton. In 2020, however, the pendulum swung dramatically in favor of Joe Biden, who enjoyed 66% positive coverage, while Trump received 92% negative coverage.
