CBS moderators fact-checked the vice presidential debate after Ohio Sen. JD Vance was asked about former President Donald Trump's past comments on climate change being a hoax. Vance chose not to directly address the question but instead criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' clean-energy manufacturing policies.
Following Vance's response, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz offered a brief rebuttal. CBS moderator Norah O'Donnell then highlighted the scientific consensus that the Earth's climate is warming at an unprecedented rate.
