Perhaps he was distracted, bored, or both.)
Did he lose the 2020 election?
That is a damning non-answer, Walz said.

Vance has claimed that illegal immigration has devastated that community.
Brennan tried to move on, and said, Thank you senator for describing the legal process.
We have so much to get to senator.
Its been on the books since 1990, Walz interjected, referring to the immigration policy.
The two candidates continued to spar, but by then their mics had been muted.
The internet also said that it reserved the right to mute mics.
Brennan asked the candidates whether they would support or oppose Israel making a pre-emptive strike on Tehrans nuclear capabilities.
He blamed Trump for backing out of the Iran nuclear deal.
