In a vice-presidential debate held on Tuesday night, Tim Walz and JD Vance engaged in a policy-driven discussion that, while less dramatic than the recent presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, highlighted significant differences on key issues such as abortion, school shootings, and immigration. The previous debate, which took place three weeks ago, was marked by intense exchanges, with Trump becoming visibly emotional and launching into a tirade about his rally attendance while labeling Harris a “Marxist.” This contentious atmosphere reportedly led Trump to threaten legal action against one of the debate moderators. In contrast, Harris experienced a slight boost in polling following her performance. While the Walz-Vance debate lacked the same level of tension, it still featured a few notable gaffes as the candidates articulated their positions on pressing national concerns.
