Tim Walz and JD Vance on Tuesday went after each other’s running mates in a vice presidential debate that opened with a discussion of burgeoning domestic and international troubles.

In closing statements on Tuesday, vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance pitched themselves to America’s voters as the election nears.

When asked about the Jan. 6 insurrection, JD Vance defended former President Donald Trump on handling a peaceful transfer of power, while Tim Walz accused Trump of misusing his power to discredit the election. “A president’s words matter.”

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz advocated for federal family leave policies. “A federal program of paid family medical leave… will enhance our workforce, enhance our families, and make it easier to have the children that you want.”

When asked about gun control, Tim Walz talked about the importance of red flag laws and universal background check to reduce gun violence. “We understand that the second amendment is there, but our first responsibility is to our kids.”
