Foreign policy</span></h2><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>The two campaigns are each making a core argument about foreign policy, and Walz and Vance began the debate by laying them out.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Kamala Harris’s campaign argues that Donald Trump is too erratic to be the leader of the free world; he is too self-centered and too willing to coddle dictators like Vladimir Putin, which explains why so many U.S. allies fear a second Trump term. “Look, our allies understand that Donald Trump is fickle,” Walz said. The world can’t afford that unpredictability, Harris and Walz argue, especially when the Middle East, Europe and Asia are all in turmoil.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Vance countered by asking voters to compare the amount of global turmoil during Trump’s presidency and Biden’s presidency. On President Biden’s watch, Hamas attacked Israel, Putin invaded Ukraine, and China became even more aggressive in its region. On Trump’s watch, no major new conflicts began. “Ask yourself at home,” Vance said. “When was the last time that an American president didn’t have a major conflict break out?” Vance was effectively arguing that Trump’s unpredictability had contained America’s enemies better than Biden’s diplomacy has.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>2.

And Trump admitted he was doing so to benefit his own presidential campaign. “This is what happens when you don’t want to solve it — you demonize it,” Walz said. He referred to Trump and Vance’s false claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating pets and criticized Trump for failing to build a border wall during his presidency.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>3.

That’s gotten harder because of Kamala Harris’s policies,” he said.

Democracy</span></h2><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>The debate ended with a spirited discussion of democracy, and the exchange was one of Walz’s strongest. Walz criticized Trump for refusing to accept that he lost the 2020 election, leading to the violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.
