The vice presidential debates consistently exude an air of gravitas and sophistication. It is gratifying to witness a genuine political discourse during a moment of paramount significance in American history

It drove me NUTS that Walz had to spend his time speaking by debunking Vance's lies. Vance DID say he wanted a national abortion ban, there's audio of it ffs. Walz admitted that he misspoke. Tim Walz actually admits when he makes a mistake, Vance just straight up lies. I 100% am now supporting Harris/Walz.

[redkingrauri]

Moment of the night for me was when Walz directly asked Vance if Trump lost in 2020. Vance didn't answer and instead went off on a tangent claiming that it's "censorship" for families to cut ties to magats.

Said Walz: "That's a damning non-answer, senator."

[nathanparker]

“That is a damning non-answer” is the quote from tonight that will stick with me.

Vance was a lot smoother debater. One might even call him a master bater. But the Substance of what Tim Walz said was both true and what I think our country actually needs.

[ReineDeScene]

The idea that fact checking is a bad thing just goes to show how used we are to Trump’s spewing lies

[benu_bird]

So women can have rights in some states, but not have those rights in others. But isn’t Texas trying to punish women for going out of state where they have those rights?

[Kex]

I watched the entire vp debate. They both actually spoke clearly and cordially and spoke on some policies. The debate definitely solidified and locked in my support for harris

[СергейПетров-ррш]

Wow. That QR code approach instead of fact-checking live is really spineless and pathetic

[dancingruth]

Trump is not likely to finish his term. The VP IS important

[Jc-oi]

Vance blamed everything on Kamala and Immigrants. That was his answer for everything.

[charliemalick]

Honestly, I was kind of surprised at how civil this debate was. Even though there were a few spars and a lot of lies from one guy, both of the men actually seemed to be respectful of each other and I was glad that there was more talk on policy instead of dog whistling.

[russellhammond]

I'll admit, Vance was a little more disarming and Walz was more nervous than I thought they would be. Still, Walz sounding a little wonky at times doesn't compare to Vance lying about the state of our manufacturing, energy production, and trying to scapegoat legally present Haitian migrants in Ohio as if they are related to illegal border crossings in the South.

[kasondaleigh]

Why not just scroll the fact checking on the bottom of the screen.
Media outlets have really dropped the integrity ball.

[RyanPatrickOHara]

JD was more polished but also more arrogant and dodged questions more. Walz apologized to moderators when he was told it was time over. JD just talked over them like a bullly

[keepers]

Walz is the ONLY politician that has ever said I misspoke..taking accountability

[CyberBeep_kenshi]

i rather see a nervous man, speaking from his heart, than a wellspoken liar.

Harris/Walz all the way!

[emiebex]

Tim Walz did incredible, he could've hit Vance Harder on Project 2025 & the fact Vance wouldn't certify an election if Trump Lost. But I'd give his performance an 8 out of 10. 💙

I found irrelevant asking Walz about what he said about Hong Kong in 1987, 37 yrs ago. Why? Didn't what Vance said about Trump since 2016 more relevan? I found her biassed.
