Joe Biden and Paul Ryan: Best Moments from the Vice Presidential Debate
A Heated Exchange on Foreign Policy
The debate kicked off with a heated exchange on foreign policy, with Biden accusing Ryan of being too inexperienced to handle international affairs. Ryan, in turn, attacked Biden's record as vice president, saying he had "failed to lead" on key issues.
Ryan's Tax Plan
Ryan also defended his proposed tax plan, which Biden argued would benefit the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. Ryan said his plan would create jobs and boost the economy, but Biden countered that it would increase the deficit and hurt low-income Americans.
Healthcare
The candidates also clashed over healthcare, with Biden accusing Ryan of wanting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which Ryan has previously supported. Ryan said he wanted to reform the law, but not repeal it.
Conclusion
In the end, both Biden and Ryan held their own, but it was Biden who appeared to land the more damaging blows. Biden was more passionate and forceful in his delivery, while Ryan often seemed on the defensive. This debate may have helped Biden gain some momentum in the race, but the race is still too close to call.
