(CNN) On Wednesday afternoon, the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates announced its picks to moderate each of the four events set for this fall. Fox News' Chris Wallace, C-SPAN's Steve Scully and NBC's Kristen Welker will moderate the three presidential debates between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, while USA Today's Susan Page will moderate the one debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris. "These are not the moderators we would have recommended if the campaign had been allowed to have any input," said Trump spokesman Tim Murtaugh. "Some can be identified as clear opponents of President Trump, meaning Joe Biden will actually have a teammate on stage most of the time to help him excuse the radical, leftist agenda he is carrying." See, here's the thing: The Commission on Presidential Debates says that it never consults with any campaign before it picks the moderators for the debates.
