Ohio Sen. JD Vance showed he was the more deft debater when he met Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz onstage for their vice presidential debate Tuesday night .

Both candidates took a much more civil approach than their running mates did onstage last month .

Mr. Walz called out Mr. Vance for avoiding a question on whether he thought former President Donald Trump had lost the 2020 election.

Mr. Walz slammed Mr. Trump for having called global warming a “hoax” and for pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.

Mr. Vance repeatedly questioned why Ms. Harris hadn’t actually taken care of her policy proposals while she was vice president.
