JD Vance’s mic gets cut while discussing Springfield, Ohio, at VP debate

During the vice presidential debate, Republican nominee JD Vance claimed that Kamala Harris’ open border policy has negatively impacted American citizens in Springfield, Ohio, by overwhelming schools, hospitals, and housing. He also mentioned the influx of Haitian migrants in the city, alleging they are there illegally and causing strain on resources. However, local officials have disputed these claims, stating that most migrants are there legally and contributing positively to the community. Vance had his mic cut by moderators when he objected to fact-checking and continued to make unfounded claims about the migrants’ legal status. Ultimately, the moderators muted both Vance and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz to uphold debate rules.
