02.10.2024 โ‡ข The Day of the Vice Presidential Debate
โŒจThe vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz dominated the news cycle. Early coverage focused on foreign policy and climate change discussions. As the debate progressed, immigration, abortion, and gun violence became central topics. Vance's performance was generally viewed more favorably, with Walz facing criticism for seeming unprepared. Post-debate analysis highlighted Vance's refusal to acknowledge Trump's 2020 election loss. In other news, Israel and Hezbollah clashed in Lebanon, resulting in Israeli military casualties. Hurricane Helene's aftermath continued to impact the southeastern US, with rising death tolls and ongoing recovery efforts. Late in the day, a bombshell filing by special counsel Jack Smith detailed new allegations regarding Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
