The vice presidential debate on Tuesday night saw Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota and Senator JD Vance of Ohio face off on issues ranging from abortion to industrial policy to democracy — with only a little bit of complaining about the rules.
The decision by CBS News not to fact-check loomed over the debate. Vance remarked on the decision early on when moderators Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell noted that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were in the country legally under Temporary Protected Status, not illegally, as Vance has claimed.
