October 2, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Aaron Kall, Director, University of Michigan Debate. They discuss the recent U.S. vice presidential debate, focusing on the performances of the candidates and their potential impact on their campaigns. Aaron commended both candidates for enhancing their political brands in a more respectful and issue-focused atmosphere compared to previous debates. The debate was expected to avoid fact-checking but saw a tense exchange involving J.D. Vance and CBS News’ Margaret Brennan over immigration processes. Brennan faced criticism for allegedly violating CBS’s rules by attempting to fact-check, which some believed detracted from the candidates’ performances.
