The sole vice presidential debate of the 2024 election season took place last night, bringing Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to the stage for a tense but measured discussion on topics ranging from abortion to the economy, inflation, and Middle Eastern conflicts. The debate, held at a CBS News event in New York City, marked the first and likely only face-off between the two vice presidential nominees. While both candidates exchanged sharp criticisms, the event remained notably more subdued compared to the explosive debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris just weeks earlier.
