Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio faced off Tuesday night in New York City for their first – and only – vice presidential debate.

The two sparred on issues including inflation, immigration, health care and the future of democracy.

Here is a fact check of some of the remarks made by each candidate:
