Walz-Vance debate: Candidates tangle in wide-ranging debate
The matchup could have an impact on critical undecided voters.
Last updated: Wednesday, October 2, 2024 4:04AM GMT
Vice presidential candidates Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance squared off for the first and only time this election season.
Unlike the last two presidential debates, the candidates appeared to be more cordial. However, both running mates criticized the presidential candidates on a host of issues including gun violence, reproductive rights, immigration and climate change.
Walz appeared to have nerves in the opening of debate, but went on the attack as the night went on. Vance took aim at Harris and her policies and pushed Trump's policies.
