Who won the US vice-presidential debate? | BBC News

Tim Walz and JD Vance have faced off in their only vice-presidential debate of the US election.

Tuesday night's debate saw heated moments discussing 6 January, one muted microphone and a few tense moments.

But it also saw candidates tackle questions on immigration, abortion rights and election integrity.

Judging by the tone of the BBC I can assume JD Vance won the debate much to the beebs annoyance

[chrisduc]

JD Vance won the debate. I did not know the guy well but I was well impressed by his performance.

[TRexMetalGuru]

What’s the point of having debate if one side are allowed to constantly lie?

[freeman]

Yes JD Vance is the clear winner of the debate, but it was a respectful conversation, which was great.

[ItsMeRando]

The BBC is very swish at reporting but does not present a balanced view.

[jordithedome]

JD destroyed but moderators were the losers

[peterburton]

More I see Vance the more I’m impressed great addition to trump team

[ferdinandefondo]

wow VANCE is so smart. Great performances on debate

[Ophelia]

Vance should be the Presidential candidate. What an impressive young man

[lemasa]

It's the fault of the moderators that foreign policy wasn't discussed.

[andyquelch]

The moderators were appalling. Walz looked exactly what he is, a nervous, duplicitous incompetent. Vance won this hands down.

[Dawnseeker]

Vance easily won. Confident, articulate and eloquent. Walz looked lost, got mixed up, self deprecated, and fumbled.

[conwayenda]

Vance by a million miles. Coherent, friendly, polite...made great points. No lies. Vance was by far the best.

[armi]

The question should be, who lied the most?

[kennethmbaegbu]

It's not all about who won the debate, the most important thing is who is gonna fix the issues at hand

[tumusiimemoses]

BBc shows clips about Abortion. JD was very normal and Smart. Tim lost completely

[joohj]

even though biased moderators, Vance won absolutely.

[SolidSantanero]

JD 'do not fact check' Vance. Lol

[gm]

Vance was on fire, I see him as a clear future president after trumps era is done.

[jenniferhughes]

I wish I hadn't looked at this now. How depressing.
