It is past midnight in New York City, where the debate was held, so we will wrap up our live coverage here.

You can scroll back through the blog to go over how it all unfolded.

Here are some of the big moments from the debate:

• JD Vance takes on the moderators
• Tim Walz mentions his son witnessed a shooting
• Candidates discuss their stances on abortion
• Tim Walz admits he 'misspoke' on past Tiananmen Square comments

Tim Walz's closing statement is available here and JD Vance's closing statement is here.

And if you're just wanting a quick recap, my colleague Rebecca Armitage has put together the key moments from the vice-presidential debate:

Another Gen Z voter I’ve touched base with after the debate is Gavin Griffin - a 20-year-old registered Democrat from Meadville, Pennsylvania.

He tuned in from a watch party at the Crawford County Pennsylvania Democratic Headquarters in the north-west pocket of the critical swing state. 

He said the difference between the two candidates was clear.

"JD Vance talks big on working folks and rural America, but Tim Walz has actually delivered.

"He talked with sincerity about the issues that most impact working Americans, because he’s lived that reality firsthand.

“Governor Walz — several times — corrected Vance and explained the truth for the millions watching across the country. 

"He showed himself to be a no-nonsense candidate, demonstrating that truth still matters on American politics."

Overall, Gavin said he found it refreshing to see a civil discussion on policy play out between the two politicians, proving that common courtesy is possible even when candidates disagree.

 In contrast to the stream of posts from the Trumps, the President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris have shared few words. 

Save for one donations call-out, Harris' X account has mostly been retweeting debate highlights shared to Walz's page.  

Biden's post, which also shared a donation link, said tonight's debate made it clear Walz "has what it takes". 

"Trust me, I know what a good vice-president looks like," he wrote. 

#WinningWithWalz is now trending on X with more than 62,500 posts. 

Both Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr were active on social media throughout the debate. 

You'll win no points for guessing how they think JD Vance performed. 

The former president has posted to Truth Social more than 55 times since the debate first started, just over three hours ago. 

"JD crushed it! Walz was a Low IQ Disaster - Very much like Kamala," he wrote in one post. 

"Our Country would never be able to recover from an Administration of these two. Can you imagine them representing us with sharp, fierce Foreign Leaders? I can't!"

His eldest son also spoke positively about Vance but had a few barbs for his opponent, Tim Walz. 

"Wait, is JD Vance debating Tim Walz or a Joe Biden stand in?" he wrote in one Tweet. 

Both Trump and Trump Jr also accused the moderators of bias against Vance. 

The CBS moderators mostly kept the fact-checking to a minimum, but the network had a team of fact-checkers posting online during the debate.

So far, they've determined three of JD Vance's claims were outright false:

• Vance said Kamala Harris "became the appointed border czar", when that was never her role, though President Joe Biden did ask her to lead his administration's efforts to deal with the causes of migration from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
• Vance said Harris had not invested in clean air, clean water of climate policy, but $US370 billion ($536 billion) was made available for climate policy during the Biden presidency under the Inflation Reduction Act
• Vance said prescription drug prices were up 7 per cent under Biden, but went up just 1.5 per cent under Donald Trump. Figures suggest average spending per person on prescription drugs went up 11 per cent under Biden, and 9 per cent under Trump.

They also found Tim Walz falsely claimed Trump hadn't paid taxes in 15 years. 

According to a congressional committee report, Trump paid $US641,931 in federal income tax in 2015, $US750 in both 2016 and 2017; and $US133,445 in 2019. However, a 2020 New York Times investigation found there were at least 10 years in which Trump did not pay income tax at all.

The ABC's national political lead, David Speers, has given his post-debate analysis on the ABC News Channel.

No matter which way you slice it, debating works up an appetite. 

While JD Vance debriefed on Fox, Tim Walz opted to skip the spin room altogether. 

He was spotted at Justino's, a pizza joint across the street from the CBS Studios in New York.  

While there were only a handful of people in the shop, supporters outside reportedly yelled "Coach!" as he left. 

He stopped for a photo with a person outside.  

JD Vance has been speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity. He said he wanted to use the debate to "remind the American people that Donald Trump is not the caricature that Kamala Harris and the media have made him out to be".

Rather, he said, he was "an incredibly effective president" who "actually solved problems". The world was more peaceful under Trump, Vance said, and the escalating conflict in the Middle East made it easier to prove that point.

Vance said he was nervous going into the debate.

"I do a lot of these interviews, Sean, but I was nervous. It's the biggest stage of my life.

"So I didn't focus so much on his demeanour. I just tried to focus on what he was saying.

"And look, to be fair to Tim Walz, he had a very tough job, and that is to defend the policies of Kamala Harris."

I’ve touched base with some Gen Z voters on both sides of the political aisle from the critical swing state of Pennsylvania to gauge what they made of the past 90 minutes.

One of them is 25-year-old registered Republican Nathan Kristoff, who watched the debate from a YouTube livestream in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

He said while the debate between the two VP nominees was a close one, he believes JD Vance won overall.

For Nathan, the biggest stand out moments were the discussions the pair had on illegal immigration in the United States.

“The communities close to me in south-western Pennsylvania have began seeing a real issue with this…it surprises me how much people don’t see this issue, and continue to walk around like it’s not happening.

“The state of America is on a thin line right now. We experienced a time with Donald Trump as president, and things in the country were running smoothly." 

He said when Donald Trump was in office, he was “just getting started as an adult”.

"People were living comfortably and things were affordable... Within the last four years it has become harder and harder as the days go on,” he said.

“If [Kamala] Harris wins, we as US citizens will continue to live terribly while non-citizens thrive off of our country.”

Democrats will be disappointed by that performance from their VP contender Tim Walz. He seemed nervous, he repeatedly stumbled over his words and his arguments were unsteady. He was less charming daggy dad and more bumbling uncle. 

For a man vying to be "one heartbeat away" from the presidency, it was an unimpressive outing. 

He seemed rusty and perhaps the Democratic strategy which has seen both Walz and Kamala Harris mostly avoid hard interviews might have left him unprepared to debate JD Vance.

He did improve as the debate went on.  Among his strongest moments came towards the end when he prosecuted the case on the January 6 attack on the US Capitol; painting Donald Trump as a threat to democracy and JD Vance as someone who wouldn't even admit Trump lost the last election.

Vance by comparison seemed sharp and calm. He was also surprisingly amiable towards Walz, which might have shocked people who expected him to be a snarky and unlikeable guy. 

He was disciplined, deftly pulling the debate constantly back to some of the stronger points for Republicans, like immigration, and tying Kamala Harris to Joe Biden's unpopular presidency. 

Vice-presidential debates are not usually major factors in US elections and it's unlikely anything said tonight will make a huge difference in this race. 

Walz will be embarrassed by his performance but he hasn't fatally wounded his ticket. There will be greater pressure for both Walz and Harris to answer more tough questions, though, to see if they deserve the White House.
