Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York contended that Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) was successful in navigating the moderators’ fact-checking of his claims at Tuesday’s vice presidential debate, claiming he “turned it around” on the moderators.
The moderators of CBS News’s debate, Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, have been criticized for going against the network’s rules by attempting to fact-check Vance during the debate segment on immigration, prompting the senator to interject and push back with his own fact-check. York lamented that the moderators cut Vance’s microphone “just as it was getting interesting” but revealed that former President Donald Trump’s team was more content with Tuesday’s debate than the last presidential debate at ABC News.
