For ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl, it was “striking” that it took 90 minutes into the vice presidential debate to get to a question on Jan. 6.

Karl joined ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce on “Good Morning America” ​​Wednesday to discuss the fallout from the CBS News vice presidential debate between Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Bruce reported that the Harris campaign has already sought to capitalize on candidates’ comments on the Jan. 6 Capitol protests and the 2020 election.

“Yes, after 90 minutes they feel that this was the moment that defined this debate. That exchange on the 6th “damned non-response,” Bruce said.

Karl expressed his disappointment that it took so long to answer the question because “this is not a normal election.”

“What struck me was that you had 90 minutes into this debate before you realized that this is not a normal election, that Donald Trump tried to overturn the last election. And in that last answer you saw JD Vance.” “He wouldn’t stand up to Donald Trump if he tried again, and he would have helped him overturn a democratic election in the US last time.”

He added: “In the end you finally got around to it. But for the first 90 minutes or so it looked like it was simply a campaign about political differences. And it really isn’t, George. It’s more than that.”

“That’s it. “It’s absolutely breathtaking, the only time in American history it’s ever happened,” host George Stephanopoulos responded.

During the debate, Walz confronted Vance about his stance on the results of the 2020 election.

“This was a threat to our democracy in a way we had never seen before, and it manifested itself because Donald Trump couldn’t say – he still says – that he didn’t lose the election,” Walz said. “Did he lose the 2020 election?”

“Tim, I’m focused on the future. “Did Kamala Harris stop Americans from expressing their opinions after the 2020 COVID situation?” Vance responded.

Walz called it a “damn non-response.”

According to the Fox News Debate Dial, votes for independents and Democratic voters fell significantly in Vance’s answer to the question of whether former President Trump lost the 2020 election, with independents seeing the largest decline.

However, many viewers and even New York Times columnists said they believed Vance ultimately won Tuesday night’s debate.
