JD Vance and Tim Walz Vice Presidential Debate Highlights

#Republican JD #Vance largely succeeded in sanding down his hardline reputation while #Democrat Tim #Walz nerves were on display as the vice presidential candidates battled over #immigration #abortion and #climate change during Tuesday’s #debate

Likely the final major set piece before voters head to the polls, the face-off was a last opportunity for both sides to frame their plans, policies and personalities before Election Day. The bout saw the two Midwesterners seek to maintain a personable veneer and policy focus as they delivered punishing attacks on each others’ running mates. #trump #harris #politics

You can’t deny this was a good debate to watch regardless of who you decide to vote for. It was refreshing to finally see two politicians from opposite sides have disagreements but were RESPECTFUL!!

[ClintonomoBay]

This was way more civil than the presidential debates that took place.

It’s nice to see two politicians from different sides hold a civilized debate and discuss issues, disagree on certain things and compliment each other on others. Not calling the other person a moron and an idiot or stupid etc. just because you don’t like her.

We are at the point in American history where both VP’s are more intelligent and capable than both Presidential candidates in an election.

Really sad.

[starlynnsnyder]

No matter who's full of s***... They both seem more intelligent than the people running for actual presidency

ah yes a professionally mannered debate that doesnt include: "would you shut up mannn" and "youre the worst president america ever had"

[Ajaws]

too nice and civil and normal!!! Where is the unhinged ranting?



I’m kidding, this was very refreshing

[tonylewis]

I don't care what party you people decide to vote for. The fact is that these 2 guys should be the ones running for president and not the current 2 muppets. It was finally nice to see 2 coherent adults debating.

Both candidates admit there is a daycare and affordable housing problem for regular folks. Neither had a definitive answer on how their side is going to solve either of those problems. That has been my issue for decades. Elitist politicians who "recognize" the issues but never give a solid method to deal with them.

Waltz is friends with school
Shooters? Dude said that twice lol

[Dude_Ronin]

These two need to run for president. Bring back civility to America!

[gameknight]

why cant we have these men run for pres. this debate seemed much more civil

[mango]

Actually a respectful debate. Wish THESE two were running for president.

[FlokiDaGod]

At this point, just let them run for president.

[tudou]

Why they were not the ones running for the president, but the vice president?!

[書海飄揚許-de]

As a Chinese person, I am very happy that the debates about us are no longer negative. It is a pity that such civilized and polite people are not presidential candidates! The game between China and the United States is not a zero-sum game. I hope that wars will subside and the world will be peaceful! Can famine and man-made disasters really be paused? I think that would be wonderful! The United States is responsible for leading the world and China is responsible for supplying materials so that all human beings can live with dignity and quality!

[sacred_g]

Anyone else wishing the ticket was JD Vance vs Tim Walz and not Trump vs Harris? That was downright refreshing compared to most of todays politics.

[victoriousangel]

This was a great debate… they had great respect for each other .

[bsakoff]

These are the two people who should be running for president.
