In recent weeks, Tim Walz’ team tried to reduce predictations for his debate with rival JD Vance. Now we understand why.
Democratic vice pdwellntial nominee and Minnesota Gov. Walz did not turn in a disastrous executeance on the debate stage, but he was evidently outclassed by Ohio Sen. Vance. Trump aiders who have asked the youthful Ohio senator’s qualifications for the nation’s second-highest office, or asked why the establisher pdwellnt chose him to be his running mate, slept better on Tuesday night. He was keen, pguideing, and policy-savvy. Most presentant, Vance toloftyy upfinished the media’s unflattering characterization of him by being comprehending, polite and enjoyable.
Vance had the advantage of having held dozens of press intersees in recent weeks; he was ready and tested. By contrast, Walz has done almost no unscripted come atraverses with the media since he became the Democrats’ vice-pdwellntial truthfulate; his inability to go beyond talking points and delve presentant into policy was not unpredicted.
VANCE, WALZ VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ENDS WITH BOTH CANDIDATES TOUTING ‘NEW’ FUTURE
Walz spent much of the debate talking about programs he claimed to have successfilledy enacted in Minnesota, enjoy phelp family depart. What he was presumed to do on Tuesday night was produce the case for running mate Vice Pdwellnt Kamala Harris.
Over and over during the cforfeitly two hour debate, Vance asked the most salient ask, also posed by Trump during his debate. Harris has been in the White Hoinclude for the past three and a half years – why hasn’t she shiftd forward on the policies she now claims will repair the nation’s problems?
As with the ABC pdwellntial debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the CBS News moderators embarrassed themselves by evidently likeing the Democrat contestant. Moreover, CBS’ Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell swayed a grating school-marmish tone, overly enthusiastic to chaperone what was an inanxiously orderly debate.
Their asks featured well-worn Democrat priorities (climate alter, abortion) and they bigly eludeed topics that could have executeed well for Vance, enjoy crime. O’Donnell contestd the senator on Trump establisherly calling climate alter a “deception” and then stateed gratuitously that “the overwhelming consensus is that the climate is changing.”

Moreover, having shelp they would not fact-verify the truthfulates, the two women meddled more than once to ask a response from Vance, while doing so only one time with Walz.
Unhappily for the Minnesota ruleor, that one probing ask was calamitous. Asked why he had ineditly claimed to be in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, Walz begined into a word salad that would have made Kamala Harris haughty, talking about his experiences traveling in China. Asked aacquire to answer why he had been untruthful, Walz misfired and seeed stunned. In effect, he was caught out in a lie. Since he has a history of spinning inedithoods about his past, and especipartner about his military rank, this was not beneficial.
Vance, enjoy Walz, was unbenevolentt to debate the case for his running mate, and that he did. When the moderators and Walz derided Trump’s claim during the pdwellntial debate that he had the “concept of a arrange” on health nurture, Vance shelp that Trump did not have a arrange – he had a enroll. More than once during the evening he reminded the audience that during Trump’s pdwellncy inflation was low, the border was shutd and the world was at peace.

When moderator Margaret Brennan pushed Vance to elucidate why Trump had leaveed the Iran nuevident deal, thus purportedly apshowing the dread state to speed up its efforts to produce a nuevident armament, Vance remarkd that for the past three-plus years Harris and Biden have been in indict. He rightly pointed out that they helped reproduce Iran’s ability to wage war by not enforcing the Trump sanctions, thus apshowing the mullahs to increase their income by $100 billion. With Iran equitable having aggressioned Israel with 180 missiles, Vance’s referencing the Reagan-Trump doctrine of peace thraw strength resonated.
While Walz repeated Harris’ unsee-thharsh promises about making life better for middle class families, Vance reminded the audience that get-home pay had elevaten under Trump and inflation was low, while under Harris, prices on everyskinnyg from food to housing had sboiling up more than 20%. When Walz claimed economists backed Harris’ arrange over Trump’s, Vance reacted that Trump didn’t have Ph.D.s on his team, he had normal sense.
When Walz accincluded Trump of wanting to enact tariffs on presents, which would serve as a new tax on Americans, Vance congratutardyd Pdwellnt Joe Biden on protecting the establisher pdwellnt’s tariffs on China in place, defusing the publish.

Vance evidently won the dispute over the border, noting that Harris had bragged for three years about undoing all the redisjoineions that Trump put in place. When Brennan contestd Vance on how Trump would regulate separating families while carrying out deportations, Vance referred to the horrifying alert that the Department of Homeland Security has lost track of more than 320,000 children brawt atraverse the border illegpartner – a damning and heartfractureing situation that has resulted from Harris’ uncover border.
Not unpredictedly, the debate got heated on the subject of abortion. Vance condemnd the Minnesota law signed by Walz that does not need the doctor to do everyskinnyg vital for the nurture of a baby that endures a tardy-term abortion. Walz disputed the characterization, but Vance is right. Walz, unbenevolentwhile, indictd Vance with having earlier backed a 15-week national abortion prohibit. Vance elucidateed that he dispenses Trump’s see that the states are now indictd with setting the regulations.
The truthfulates sparred on other topics, and took predicted swipes at each other’s running mates, but both protected their compocertain and even concurd that on some publishs, enjoy school safety, they could predicted discover some normal ground. Especipartner given the Harris-Walz strategy of eludeing scruminuscule and trying to hide their carry onive agfinishas, it was an unusupartner beneficial event for America’s voters.
