Toward the end of the debate, Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz asked Vance to affirm that Trump lost the last election. “Did he lose the 2020 election?” Walz asked.

"Tim, I'm focused on the future," Vance replied, before pivoting to press Walz on censorship on social media.

"That is a damning non-answer," Walz said. "I'm pretty shocked by this. He lost the election. This is not a debate, it's not anything anywhere other than in Donald Trump's world."

Walz noted that the reason that former Vice President Mike Pence — who was the target of "hang Mike Pence" chants from pro-Trump rioters who invaded the Capitol in 2021 — wasn't on the debate stage is because he refused to overturn the election on Trump's behalf.

What a sleazy person he is. He’s well spoken so his answers seem coherent but if you actually listened to him speak you would pick up that he would say half truths at best. At least he gave the people a presidential debate unlike his boss

I don't know if you watched the debate, but his little smirks to the camera after some of his comments were making me ill.
