J.D. Vance and Tim Walz’s first and only vice presidential debate in New York sparked fiery exchanges and interventions from the CBS moderators and Donald Trump.
Hosts Norah O’Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan were accused of being biased after cutting Vance’s mic when he hit back at a fact check on his claims on Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.
Megyn Kelly led the fury by posting ‘How Dare You! on X on a night where Vance have a strong performance and Walz had a stumbling start.
Both candidates had a lot to prove to American voters in their first time in the spotlight to trying to dispel the notion that they are not completely ‘weird.’
