The vice presidential candidates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance, engaged in a civil debate covering various issues. Some false claims emerged during the discussion, including Vance’s assertion that Iran received $100 billion in unfrozen assets under the Biden-Harris administration. The Biden administration unfroze $6 billion, but none has been given to Iran yet. Walz overstated insulin costs before a new law capped prices at $35 per month. Vance linked unaffordable housing to immigrants, but economists attribute rising prices to a lack of housing supply. Walz falsely claimed a pregnancy registry under Project 2025 and Vance exaggerated illegal immigration numbers. Vance also distorted Minnesota’s abortion law and misrepresented Trump’s words on Jan. 6, 2021. The claims were fact-checked by The Associated Press writers. Despite the misinformation discussed, the debate remained largely civil and covered various topics pertinent to the upcoming election. Voters are encouraged to fact-check claims made by candidates and make informed decisions at the polls. The debate provided insight into the candidates’ viewpoints and plans for the country, highlighting the importance of staying informed ahead of the election. The vice presidential candidates will continue to campaign leading up to the election, and voters are encouraged to remain engaged in the political process to make informed choices.
