The US vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance compete against each other in a TV duel. It is their first and probably last debate before the election on November 5th.
Republican US vice presidential candidate JD Vance makes the incumbent vice president and Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, responsible for the crisis at the border in the southern US. “We have a historic immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started reversing Donald Trump’s entire border policy,” said Vance in the TV duel against his Democratic opponent Tim Walz. With her policies, Harris also ensured that record amounts of the opioid fentanyl came into the country. “So you have to stop the bleeding.”
Migration is one of the central issues in the US election campaign. The situation at the border with Mexico remains very tense.
