Watch: Walz and Vance make closing statements at VP debate

Sen. JD Vance of Ohio won a virtual coin toss ahead of Tuesday's vice presidential debate and elected to go last for closing statements. In his statement, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz emphasized the importance of democracy and praised Vice President Kamala Harris' coalition building, while Vance focused on energy policy and the American family. Watch their full remarks.

CBS clearly broke the rules agreed to for this debate. It is not up to CBS to play favorites and help their candidate out. The listeners can do that just fine thank you. You have shown to the world just how corrupt you are.

Lost me at Taylor Swift.. Who the F cares about what celebrities have to say about politics

It's funny when CBS told Vance that the audience cannot hear him when we actually could lol.

Glad Vance pushed back on the obviously biased moderators

The best thing about watching JD Vance tonight was him showing his stand alone intellect, opinions, and etc... The "weirdest" thing about them asking JD about how he was previously critical of Trump and not completely aligned with everything that Trump says is that it reveals that Trump did not select a running mate who would just be a "yes" person. He picked someone who could stand up and lead on his own and also will provide balance in office. It actually reveals that Trump is a very effective leader. If you don't have someone in your circle who is able to challenge you then you won't evolve or go far. They are going to make a great duo in office!!!

I am sorry but when you have to use Taylor Swift in your closing speech… desperation!!

[Tellmewhynow]

after watching Vance I wanted to listen to him more. JD Vance was so confident.. very personable. no distractive body movements like walz. Vance drag you into actively listening to him..

Let's face Waltzed all over mopped the floor with him in a very polite way.

😂 Walz mentioned Taylor Swift in his closing statement. How does Taylor Swift’s opinion matter more than any other American? She’s not even a pundit.

Moderators gave Walz the last word on everything. I'm surprised they didn't let Walz reply to Vance's closing statement.

[punaforager]

Vance is level headed, perfect composure, and has the mindset to backup trump if anything were to happen to him. Can anyone imagine Walz being that close to the presidency? Nah.

[indratracy]

Waltz taking about Taylor Swift. This guy for rich people.

[happilife]

I think Vance has a better closing statement. Confident, relatable, and convincing. As an independent voter, I am leaning towards Trump/Vance.

Good debate but the moderators topics were BS

[THE_WOAT]

I watched an old man become a scared little boy in that debate. JD clearly won despite some of the most slanted questions ever delivered in a debate. Abortion, Jan 6, Climate change, Guns... how about asking Tim why Kamala lied about Joe Bidens Health for 3.5 years? Or presenting numbers on the border, or asking about the illegals being arrested for looting hurricane Helene victim's homes, or mentioning Laken Riley etc...etc.

Very disappointed with moderators who were breaking their own rules. Very obvious their on Democrats side.

The bias moderators got owned! Vance nailed it and beat all 3 of them 👍🏼😃

[johntafoya]

Vance loves America thanks for praying for America. You tell the truth with genuinus

Walz reminds me of a shady used car salesman and Harris is the owner of the dealership

Great Job selecting another 2 clearly Biased Moderators, enjoy your boycott.
