Republican Sen. JD Vance and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota met for the first and likely only vice presidential debate before the general election.
The debate was largely cordial and substantive, with both candidates fielding questions on foreign policy, immigration, abortion, the economy and more.
The most contentious exchanges of the night came toward the end, when Vance and Walz clashed over former President Donald Trump's actions in the wake of the 2020 election. Vance declined to answer when asked if he thought Trump lost in 2020, which Walz called a "damning non-answer."
Both men took aim at the candidates at the top of the ticket. Vance repeatedly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for the current administration's policies and record, particularly on immigration and the economy. Several of Walz's strongest moments came when he was attacking Trump's position on abortion and reminding viewers of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
