VP Debate highlights: Vance delivers 'strong performance' as 'nervous' Walz stumbles in first half

"We're talking about a very strong performance from Vance here."

Tim Walz was unlucky that questions surrounding Trump's threat to democracy came late on in the debate when many Americans would've tuned out and therefore missed JD Vance "looking shifty", summarises assistant editor of The Times David Charter.

Times radio trying to play ball in five different audiences is really frustrating and boring at same time

[reinholdmueller]

Why is it more important who won the debate than who is better at running the country?

[ian]

You people are blind to reality. So is Tmes radio.

[BLT-Rexx]

I just wanna see one person in American politics who doesn't look like they belong in a Robocop movie. US politics is so disturbing.

[howardgayton]

And the fact that he couldn't say that Trump lost? That's just normalised now at Times Radio?

[smkh]

I doubt anyone changed their mind over this debate.
Each scored a few points. Vance carries out Trump's better than Trump can,
and Walz has a lot of 'Honest Uncle Tim' rizz.

Vance did well managing to make an insane platform sound good, but there was no clear winner. Walz wasn't in his strongest format but talked from the heart straight to the public and connected, and did a good job.

Let American properly monitor postal votes and ID

[memenstein]

Something that really confuses me is that Trump is on the side of Israel but he is also Putin's friend who is an ally of Iran. Make it make sense

[stevethorne]

Vance is just a smooth talking used president salesman.

[l.marciaga]

Loved the way JD put in her place the biased so-called journalist moderator Margaret Brennan.

[markrhodes]

The moderators were a disgrace. Fact checking only the republican candidate and when he clapped back at the nonsense they cut him off. Wasn’t even close JD Vance clearly won this debate.

[ant.zen.]

FB still block me when I write and support trump

[Michael-lxql]

Vance a clear winner here. The Times seems to be having a problem in admitting this. Walz finishing "strongly" was not the case.

[joymattson]

WHaaa? You think calling climate change a "hoax" is a strong performance? When did Times Radio become a MAGA site?

[markrhodes]

They won’t let Waltz do any interviews….this debate showed us why.

[godfredarthur]

You are disappointed democrats analyst.. Vance all the way.

[petergaskin]

Vance threw it all away along with his own personal honour and credibility with his failure to answer the last question.

[carlafrechette]

Vance was far way better in this debate! Waltz was terrible like kamala did.. a kind of word Salad again🤔🤭

[benpowell]

The MAGA media site! Keep up the hamas and MAGA propaganda!
