The Facts

• Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Republican Sen. J.D. Vance faced off in a mostly cordial, policy-heavy vice-presidential matchup at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York on Tuesday.

• The 90-minute debate touched on many key election issues, including abortion, climate change, the economy and taxes, gun control, housing, immigration, and the war in the Middle East.

• Vance and Walz did have a handful of clashes during the showdown, the most tense taking place just before the end of the second segment as they traded barbs over which side poses a threat to democracy.
