US JD Vance Tim Walz us election
The one and only 2024 vice presidential debate was a feast for politics junkies – 32 early verdicts
It’s looking increasingly unlikely that Trump will face Kamala Harris in another debate, so anyone interested in the different policies – or keen to see whether JD Vance can go 90 minutes without mentioning childless women – will have been glued to the vice presidential debate on Tuesday night.
WATCH NOW: JD Vance and Tim Walz face off in the CBS News vice presidential debate with just 5 weeks before Election Day. #VPdebate https://t.co/MemLF15RQN

As had been widely predicted, it seems as though it was a win for Walz.
NBC News just polled their focus group of 6 undecided voters in Pennsylvania who won the VP debate.
5 of 6 said Tim Walz won the debate. pic.twitter.com/jBUXsPB8sC

I watched the debate to see which one of those guys I would trust if the head dude or dame should become incapacitated. I choose Walz.

Kamala Harris’s running mate spoke up for women.
I think Walz just took the rest of the woman vote that democrats didn’t have yet… pic.twitter.com/VNqGmDd1GH

The debate was the talk of Twitter/X (as well as all the TV news outlets), so we’ve gathered some initial reactions.

JD Vance has the energy of a restaurant manager who understands your complaint but still ain't taking that hamburger off your check.

That was a boxing match that made it to the last round. And I saw what Tim Walz did to JD Vance in that last round.

Not so much a debate as an opportunity for Walz to say things that most people agree with and for Vance to say things that Donald Trump agrees with.

You know it wasn’t a good night when the best your allies can say on text or email is, “Don’t worry, vice presidential debates don’t matter.”

At the end of this election, I hope JD Vance gets the therapy he needs, Trump gets the parole officer he deserves, Harris gets a Democratically controlled Congress, and Tim Walz gets a complimentary subscription to Popular Mechanics. I think he’d enjoy that.

Bonkers of JD Vance to claim to be a job creator after what he did to Amy Adams’ career
