The first and only vice presidential debate between Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz took place in New York on Tuesday, a largely collegial affair that touched on many pressing issues facing the country.

The debate, hosted by CBS News, covered foreign policy, reproductive rights, threats to democracy, immigration, housing and much more. Vance and Walz each defended their running mate at the top of their respective ticket — former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris — while attacking their counterparts’ positions and record. 

CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan moderated the debate, which ran for 90 minutes at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York. The candidates and moderators are referred to by their initials in the full transcript of the debate below:
