Vance shows softer side as Walz appears rattled during Midwest make-nice VP debate – Washington Examiner

The vice presidential debate between Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) featured far fewer fireworks than the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The two running mates lobbied most of their attacks against their rival presidential candidates, opting to refrain from attacking each other harshly.

But it was Vance s smooth performance, pivoting away from his more pugnacious attacks, that won him plaudits post-debate, as experts wondered where Walz s famous Midwestern dad energy had gone.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, GOP strategist Ford O Connell said, Vance turned in one of the best VP debate performances on record.

Some folks may not know J.D. Vance s name before tonight, but they do after tonight, he continued. When it comes to Walz, look, he was nervous, and at times, he looked like a deer in the headlights.
