VP Debate Marred by Walz's 'Friends with School Shooters' Gaffe

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's misstatement during the vice presidential debate drew sharp criticism and overshadowed discussions on key issues like abortion and immigration.

• Tim Walz's comment about being 'friends with school shooters' quickly became a focal point of criticism, with Donald Trump and his supporters amplifying the gaffe on social media.
• The debate saw a generally civil exchange between Walz and JD Vance, contrasting sharply with the combative tone of the presidential debates.
• Abortion was a significant topic, with Walz emphasizing personal stories of women affected by restrictive laws, while Vance attempted to present a more moderate stance on the issue.
• Both candidates clashed over immigration policies, with Vance criticizing the Biden administration's approach and Walz defending the need for comprehensive reform.
• The debate was held amid significant external events, including an escalating conflict in the Middle East and the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which have overshadowed much of the campaign discourse.
