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:
Sen. JD Vance claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris was appointed the “border czar” during the Biden administration. “The only thing that she did when she became the vice president, when she became the appointed border czar, was to undo 94 Donald Trump executive actions that opened the border,” Vance said.
