Minutes after the second and final presidential debate wrapped up, Fox News’ Chris Wallace told viewers, “First of all, I’m jealous.”
That jealously was of how different this debate was from the first, which Wallace moderated. Instead of interruptions, the candidates, and Trump in particular, were mindful of a mute button that silenced their mics as the other talked. And as the debate ended, moderator Kristen Welker was drawing widespread praise for keeping things under control and for her questions.
“You have two minutes, uninterrupted,” Welker reminded the candidates, one of a number of methods she took to keep things under control for the 90 minute event. She also asked sharp followups and, when needed, allowed the candidates their own exchanges without letting them get out of hand.
At one point, even President Donald Trump gave her credit, after spending the better part of a week bashing her as biased.
