He Republican Senator from OhioJD Vance, Donald Trump’s number 2, and the Democratic Governor of MinnesotaTim Walz, Kamala Harris’ number 2, debated Iran, the first question of the debate after the attack on Tehran a few hours earlier against Israel, immigration, climate change and even abortion.
Vance appeared more comfortable during the vice-presidential debate in these presidential elections, which will be held on November 5.. While, Tim Walz chattered and even confused Iran with Israel. Vance has more experience interviewing. The Harris-Walz campaign avoided them. Instead, during the debate, Walz had to confront the two moderators who questioned him about his lies, Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell. It was Brennan who questioned him about why he said he had been in Hong Kong during China’s Tiananmen protests in 1989.
Here are the five best moments from the vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz 34 days before the election. presidential elections on November 5:
- 1. “I’m an idiot”. Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, was forced to answer questions about his lies and controversial trips to China. Walz said he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in the spring of 1989. But Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets noted that Walz did not travel to China until August of the same year. “Sometimes I’m an idiot,” Walz said when twice asked why he lied. “Look, my community knows who I am. They saw where it was. “I’ll be the first to tell you that I did everything I could and I tried to do my best, but I wasn’t perfect,” Walz tried to justify himself.
- 2. Vance defended himself against CBS moderators, who indicated they were not going to correct the candidates, when they attempted to correct their comments on immigration. “The rules were that you weren’t going to check the facts,” Vance reminded them. “And since you correct me, I think it’s important to say what’s really going on,” Vance said, while explaining the immigration process to obtain legal status.
- 3. “I’m friends with gunmen at school.” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz got nervous and accidentally said, “I’m friends with the school shooters.” The error occurred when Walz was asked about his change in position on the assault weapons ban, which he had previously opposed and now supports. “I sat down with these parents of Sand hook. I became friends with gunmen at school. “I saw it,” he said, referring to one of the worst mass shootings in the United States.
- 4. Vance admitted calling Trump ‘America’s Hitler’. “Sometimes, of course, I disagree with the president, but I’ve also been extremely open about the fact that I was wrong about Donald Trump. “I was wrong, first of all, because I believed some media stories that turned out to be lies,” Vance said.
- 5. Walz complained that Trump only built 2% of the border wall and Mexico didn’t pay a dime. ““Donald Trump had four years, he had four years to do it, and he promised it would be easy,” Walz said. The Democratic vice presidential candidate criticized Trump for not building a bigger border wall, despite politicians in his party criticizing Trump’s idea: ““He built less than 2% of the wall and Mexico didn’t pay a single cent.”
