An estimated 43.15 million viewers tuned in to the CBS News vice presidential debate this year, according to Nielsen, a media analytics company. The debate was held at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, and aired across more than a dozen stations.

In one of the most notable exchanges of the vice presidential debate, Republican candidate JD Vance refused to say former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and downplayed the events of Jan.

While the Walz-Vance debate, which was noted for being a relatively civil affair, was viewed by almost 25 percent less people than its predecessor, the Harris-Pence debate was also the second-most watched VP debate since Nielsen began keeping records.

Going forward, Trump adviser Jason Miller said the campaign may expand Vance’s travel docket and send him to blue states like Virginia, where Republicans see an opportunity to gain ground despite years of losses. Miller quipped that even Minnesota could be in play after its governor’s shaky debate performance on Tuesday.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump praised their respective running mates -- Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance -- as their campaigns worked to spin how well they performed at Tuesday night's vice-presidential debate.

JD Vance is focused on next month’s election. But the vice-presidential debate went a long way toward building his brand for a potential 2028 run.

Trump took to Truth Social to criticize the unsealing of a 165-page document from special counsel Jack Smith as a DOJ ‘hit job,’ while Harris discussed federal support for Georgia in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

ABC News Correspondent Jonathan Karl commented on the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate between Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Tuesday night.

Vice presidential nominees Tim Walz and JD Vance went head-to-head Tuesday night for the VP debate, but only one came out on top.

However, two flash polls showed the Republican challenger Vance winning by a slim margin in the vice-presidential debate.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday told CNN's Dana Bash that Tuesday's vice presidential debate between Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) was a battle between truth and trust vs. con and slick.
