The highly anticipated vice presidential debate between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance was overshadowed by events in the Middle East, where Iran launched a missile attack in response to Israel’s actions in Lebanon and Gaza. The candidates clashed on their views regarding US support for Israel and Iran’s actions, setting the stage for a tense debate.
With just five weeks left until election day on November 5, the debate marked a critical moment in the US presidential race. Walz highlighted the leadership of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, while Vance emphasized the common sense approach of Donald Trump. The candidates sparred over immigration, gun violence, and abortion access, showcasing their differing viewpoints on key issues.
Fact-checking became a contentious issue during the debate, with the moderators opting not to fact-check live on air. Vance and Walz disagreed on various topics, including the handling of immigration and gun control. Walz pushed for Democratic policies on abortion access, while Vance focused on supporting families through social programs.
The debate highlighted the sharp divide between the two candidates and their parties, setting the stage for a heated election season. As the race enters its final stretch, voters will have to weigh the contrasting visions presented by Walz and Vance before casting their ballots on November 5.
