George Stephanopoulos Brings House Down With First Thing He'd Ask At Biden-Trump Debate [View all]

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos admitted it’s highly unlikely that he’ll moderate one of President Joe Biden’s newly announced presidential debates with presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, given how Trump is currently suing Stephanopoulos for defamation.

But Stephanopoulos told “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday that he’d be glad to take the gig. And the journalist earned a massive cheer from Colbert’s audience when he shared what his very first question to both candidates would be.

“Who won the last election?” Stephanopoulos said. “I hope that’s the first question.”

Trump, of course, continues to baselessly claim the 2020 election was stolen from him.
