According to a report from the Media Research Center (MRC) on Thursday, typing in 'presidential campaign websites' at the said search engine returned results that did not include Republican candidates on the first page. The search was done the day before the first Republican primary debate of the 2024 season which was held on August 23. MRC created an algorithm to automate the process in a "clean environment," which allows for an organic search to populate results without the influence of prior search history and tracking cookies.
"Google has erased every threat to Joe Biden," MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider said.
MRC noted that top Republican contender former President Donald Trump, who is still topping the surveys at almost 50 percent as of August 30 despite the legal battles thrown at him, did not reflect in the first few pages of the results. Moreover, Democratic challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not appear in the results at all.
