He did answer it, literally said he misspoke but he was there during the summer (iirc).
Yeah it really threw him off.
Itbwould have been cleaner if he said something along the lines of "I was there that summer and witnessed the people. History in the making. It was a few months after the march. I took my class's blah blah blah."
A "real politician" would have set the record straight without using a negative word like "I was wrong/incorrect"
His answer was a lot more genuine toe because of that. He over-explained due to nervousness and then said "I misspoke"
I'd say he came in just under on that.
Exactly. The whole exchange seems like it caught him on the back foot and wasn't something he was prepped for so he felt he had to explain the entire situation and got lost in his story and never put a bow on it. When the moderator pressed him after he had finished he followed up with basically "I misspoke, I apologize, shit happens".
Meanwhile Vance refused to give a solid answer on who won in 2020, but people say he took the debate.
Vice Presidental debate:
"Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?" "We're focused on the future..." "That's a damning non answer."
Presidential debate:
"They're eating the dogs!!"
