Vice presidential candidates Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz engaged in a cordial yet spirited debate on Oct. 1. Both conceded a measure of agreement with the other on some policies, though each presented a vastly different picture of the present reality and the path to a better future.
The candidates met in New York for their first and only debate. Throughout the 90-minute event, each worked to present himself as relatable to the audience.
