Harris has credited Walden with setting her up with second gentleman Doug Emhoff, who has known the executives husband Matt Walden for decades.
ABC News has previously clarified that Walden oversees only corporate matter such as budgets and staff size and has no say in editorial decisions, as previously reported by The New York Times.
But Kelly insisted on Tuesday that the relationship is further evidence of the networks bias against Trump.
They are trying to steal this election, she said. They are openly working to sink Donald Trump.
Trump himself has previously claimed that Waldens relationship with Harris means ABC News is biased against him.

The former president also called into Fox & Friends on Wednesday and slammed ABC for fact-checking his claims in real time while not doing the same for VP Harris.
It was 3-to-1, it was a rigged deal as I assumed it would be because when you looked at the fact they were correcting everything and not correcting with her, Trump said.
