US election: Vice-presidential debate reaction
JD Vance and Tim Walz face off in New York.
Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz have been facing off in a surprisingly amicable vice-presidential debate which focussed strongly on policy. Rather than resort to personal jabs, the pair seemed laser-focussed on the records of their respective running mates, covering topics from immigration to abortion and the economy. In this shortened campaign some analysts have suggested the event carried heightened importance, but did the performance of either candidate move the needle and were voters really paying attention?
CaitrĂona Perry is joined at the debate venue in New York by the ±«Óătv’s North America reporter Kayla Epstein for her immediate reaction to proceedings.
The clips in this episode are from the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate.
