We’re breaking down what happened in New York City last night on the vice-presidential debate stage. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz faced off against Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

Stakes last night were high. It was likely the last debate before Election Day, which is just a month away. Early voting has already begun in many places.According to aNew York Times/Siena Collegepoll released on Saturday, the race remains extraordinarily close in key battleground states.
