Walz Misses Chance to Crush Vance: *Vice Presidential Debate Reaction*

Plus not enough difference between the two on key issues of war, climate change, and housing. Still Walz knocked it out of the park on abortion and family leave. Francesca goes over all of the highlights and lowlights from the vice presidential debate. *** The Bit
