ABC News, the most Regime-servile of the news organizations, performed a presidential campaign roundup that only reported on one of two presidential endorsements offered today. Of course, the endorsement reported on is the one most favorable to the Regime.
Watch as ABC’s Terry Moran enthusiastically chronicles the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris by over 200 Romney, Bush, McCain alumni:
TERRY MORAN: And some good news for Harris, more than 200 former staffers of the previous three Republican presidential nominees, that’s Mitt Romney, the late John McCain, and George W. Bush, have come out and endorsed Kamala Harris, saying that for them, quote, “the alternative is untenable”.
“Good news”, says Moran of the endorsement of these 200 former staffers. Not mentioned in the story: some of these endorsers were already in the tank for Democrats. Per USA Today, which initially reported on the letter:
Others who signed the letters include: Reed Galen, McCain's deputy campaign manager and co-founder of the Lincoln Project; Jim Swift, a former Republican operative who is now senior editor of The Bulwark, an anti-Trump news and opinion site; and former McCain campaign strategist Mike Murphy.
This is in addition to those former Republicans who addressed Kamala Harris’s coronation at the Democratic National Convention. Mostly folks already swimming on the Democrat side of the pool.
And of course, that’s only half the story on endorsements. Because former President Donald Trump landed a significant endorsement that went unreported by Moran. Per Fox News:
Democrat-turned Independent Tulsi Gabbard, the former congresswoman from Hawaii, has endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris.
"We as Americans must stand together to reject this anti-freedom culture of political retaliation and abuse of power. We can't allow our country to be destroyed by politicians who will put their own power ahead of the interests of the American people, our freedom, and our future," Gabbard said at the National Guard conference in Detroit on Monday.
Gabbard's endorsement came on the third anniversary of the suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members following the chaotic Afghanistan War withdrawal.
Moran fails to mention this endorsement, even though it happened at the National Guard Association’s convention, where Trump gave earlier remarks reported on by Moran.
But the “good news” for Trump did not warrant a mention on ABC. Par for the course for the Regime Media.

DAVID MUIR: Now to the race for The White House. 71 days to go. Donald Trump blaming Vice President Kamala Harris for the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. He's in the battleground of Michigan tonight, speaking to the National Guard Association's convention in Detroit. Meanwhile tonight, the major endorsement for Kamala Harris. More than 200 advisers and alums of George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney now endorsing the vice president, saying while they might have some policy differences, that they're arguing this is about much more than that. ABC's Terry Moran in Detroit.
TERRY MORAN: At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery today, Donald Trump laid a wreath in honor of three Marines who were among the 13 service members killed three years ago today during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. And later, speaking at the National Guard Association's convention in Detroit, Trump made that botched operation and the Taliban's swift takeover a centerpiece of his argument against Vice President Kamala Harris.
DONALD TRUMP: …caused by Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, the humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world.
MORAN: Trump declared that if he's re-elected, there will be accountability.
TRUMP: We'll get the resignations of every single senior official who touched the Afghanistan calamity to be on my desk at noon on Inauguration Day. You know, you have to fire people. You have to fire people when they do a bad job. We never fire anybody.
MORAN: At the Democratic National Convention, Harris made it clear she is ready to fend off attacks on her toughness on national security.
KAMALA HARRIS: As Commander-in-Chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.
MORAN: Harris has been off the campaign trail since the convention wrapped up, but Trump has been revving up the pace of his campaign. Later this week, he'll travel to Wisconsin, before returning here to Michigan on Thursday, telling some of his campaign's volunteers here late today that this critical battleground state could decide the entire election.
TRUMP: If we can win this state, we win the whole thing. We win the whole thing. And we're going to win the whole thing.
MORAN: Kamala Harris is hitting these battleground states, too. She was in Wisconsin last week during the Democratic convention, and later this week, she and Tim Walz will go on a bus tour of southern Georgia. And some good news for Harris, more than 200 former staffers of the previous three Republican presidential nominees, that’s Mitt Romney, the late John McCain, and George W. Bush, have come out and endorsed Kamala Harris, saying that for them, quote, “the alternative is untenable”. David.
MUIR: Terry Moran, covering the race for president tonight. Terry, thank you.
