More detailed policies and fewer made-for-TV zingers during Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate offered less opportunity for members of Congress to immediately go after Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) or Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH). The candidates’ Midwestern-niceness and civil rhetoric underscored a contrast with the more tense and bombastic showing on display just weeks earlier between Vice […]
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) dominated the vice presidential debate against Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) on Tuesday night, most importantly showcasing a softer side in a series of surprisingly civil exchanges.

Tim Walz (D-MN), the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Vice President […]
Vice presidential nominees Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) had one responsibility during their first and only debate and possibly the last head-to-head of the 2024 election. That responsibility was to “do no harm” to Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump one month before voters cast their final ballots […]
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) appeared to display a softer and more likable Midwestern style in Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, a strategy that could flip the script on his unfavorable rating.
