As NBC News debate moderator Lester Holt gears up for the biggest night of his journalistic life, anti-Donald Trump voices are pressuring him to intercede in the Donald Trump-Hillary Clinton debate to “fact-check” Trump’s statements.

For weeks, conservatives have feared a “Candy Crowley moment” from Holt, whose alleged pro-Clinton bias could potentially swing the result of the debate in Clinton’s favor. The fear stemmed from intense media backlash toward Matt Lauer, who chose not to play fact-checker when he moderated a “Commander in Chief” forum and also asked Clinton about her email scandal.

The Clinton campaign is making a concerted last-minute push to pressure Holt. Communications director Jennifer Palmieri told reporters on a conference call that Trump will have an “unfair advantage” if Holt does not step in to play judge and jury in the debate. Trump said that the media are “trying to intimidate Lester.”

But the media are not alone in applying pressure to Holt, who took over the NBC anchor’s chair after Brian Williams’ false-anecdotes scandal and has yet to distinguish himself in a meaningful way on the political stage.

More than 70,000 people, as of this writing, have signed or supported petitions calling on Holt to directly fact-check Tump’s statements:
