During a recent debate between the vice-presidential candidates, JD Vance blamed Kamala Harris for the increase in housing costs in the US by “letting in millions” of people into the country. He suggested that lowering energy prices by drilling for American energy sources would help ease the financial burden on American citizens. Additionally, Vance emphasized the need to build more homes for American citizens in need of housing.
Tim Walz, on the other hand, discussed Harris’s campaign promises of providing downpayment assistance and building 3 million homes. He highlighted the importance of making housing more affordable to create stability in the labor market.
The debate also touched on gun violence, with Vance attributing the issue to a mental health crisis in the country, while Walz cautioned against stigmatizing mental health. The conversation shifted to mass shootings and gun control, with Vance advocating for increased school security measures.
Meanwhile, Trump’s social media post declaring that he would not support a federal abortion ban under any circumstances sparked a discussion on reproductive rights during the debate. Vance denied claims that a Republican administration would create a federal pregnancy monitoring agency, emphasizing his support for protecting innocent life and pro-family policies.
Overall, the debate covered a range of topics including housing affordability, gun violence, and reproductive rights, providing insight into the candidates’ stances on these critical issues.
