The JD Vance VS Tim Walz Vice Presidential Debate!
Who came out on top and could it swing the race?
Vice presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz have taken part in their first, and likely only, debate of the 2024 US election.
There were heated moments discussing January 6th, one muted microphone, and lots of policy ground covered: foreign policy, immigration and abortion rights. Will Vance and Walz鈥檚 performances help or hurt Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?
Sumi joins Marianna and Anthony who analyse who said what, and how much it matters to the presidential race.
