Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance clashed on Tuesday at a vice-presidential debate that was surprisingly civil in the final stretch of an ugly election campaign marred by inflammatory rhetoric and two assassination attempts.
The two rivals, who have forcefully attacked each other on the campaign trail, mostly struck a cordial tone, instead saving their fire for the candidates at the top of their tickets, Democratic vice president Kamala Harris and Republican former president Donald Trump.
