Nonetheless, several notable \u2064exchanges highlighted the candidates&#8217; \u200ccontrasting\u200b positions. <\/p>\n<p>One of the key moments \u2062included Vance confronting the \u200dmoderators\u200d about fact-checking, specifically regarding immigration, marking a tense exchange that resulted in the only microphone muting of the night. Vance criticized the administration&#8217;s approach to illegal immigration, emphasizing a distinction between legal entry and asylum applications facilitated by government policies.<\/p>\n<p>Walz, on the other hand, brought back his campaign slogan &#8220;mind your own business&#8221; when discussing abortion,\u2064 asserting that \u2063the\u2064 restoration of Roe v.\u200c Wade would promote better outcomes for women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>The debate also highlighted economic \u200bdiscussions, where Vance challenged Walz on\u2063 his views of Trump&#8217;s economic impact, indicating that Walz had a difficult\u200d task in disavowing the successes attributed to the\u2063 previous administration. The exchange underscored the contentious atmosphere and the differing philosophies \u200cbetween \u200bthe two\u2062 candidates as they\u200c prepare\u200b for the upcoming election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biggest zingers from the Vance-Walz vice presidential debate<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1774149\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"J.D.

The apparent fact-check led Vance to forcibly interject.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren&rsquo;t gonna fact-check, and since you&rsquo;re fact-checking me, I think it&rsquo;s important to say what&rsquo;s actually going on,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So there&rsquo;s an application called the CBP One app, where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum, or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card, and waiting for 10 years. That is a continuation of illegal immigration, Margaret, by our own government,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange resulted in the only muting of a mic throughout the night.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Vance bristled at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/margbrennan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@margbrennan<\/a>&#8216;s clarification about Springfield, Ohio and said &#8220;the rules were that you guys weren&#8217;t going to fact check&hellip;&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CCJcgXoA1Y\">pic.twitter.com\/CCJcgXoA1Y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brianstelter\/status\/1841289970398409184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walz: &lsquo;Mind your own business&rsquo;<\/h2>\n<p>In an anticipated move, Walz revived one of his campaign catchphrases &mdash; &ldquo;mind your own business&rdquo; when talking about abortion.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I use this line on this: Just mind your own business on this,&rdquo; Walz said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Things worked best when <em>Roe v Wade<\/em> was in place. When we do a restoration of <em>Roe<\/em> that works best.

You&rsquo;ve got to pretend that Donald Trump didn&rsquo;t deliver lower inflation, which, of course, he did.

Did Kamala Harris censor Americans from speaking their mind in the wake of the 2020 COVID situation?&rdquo; Vance countered.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That is a damning non-answer,&rdquo; Walz responded. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m pretty shocked by this,&rdquo; the governor added later. &ldquo;He lost the election.

Because look, when Mike Pence made that decision to certify that election, that&rsquo;s why Mike Pence isn&rsquo;t on the stage. What I&rsquo;m concerned about is where is the firewall?
