6 highlights from the Walz-Vance VP debate

Vice presidential candidates Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance met in New York City on Tuesday night for their first and likely only 2024 showdown. Here are some highlights from the CBS News debate.

It was a well spoken debate by both Vance and Walz., much better than the presidential debate....MUCH just leave there...now, to ask who won is utterly pointless. Democrats will Walz and Republicans will say Vance....🤷‍♂️. Just vote for whoever you want and keep it moving. No president moving forward will ever be able to fix our country anyway. It's too broken and certain powers and people want to keep it broken...

What a refreshing contrast on civil debating on real policies.

I am an American citizen. I petitioned for my daughter's permanent residence in 2020. There has not been progress. She works for a Swedish company in Atlanta and is paying tax over 30%. The same legal process should be applied to everyone.

Walz face when Vance mentioned Hilary was impeccable 😂

I knew JDs eye liner would be extra on point for this 💫

The legal process is the most important component to all the policies that are in place.

This reminds me when I was a kid and found out wrestling was fake 😮

Why turn off the mics when important context is given? 6:00

I think both should just team up as President and Vice President Candidates. They have different views on many things but have respect for one another and are probably willing to listen to each other's advice to get things done better. 😊

was a good debate, those mods gotta go !

Dear it's not just Trump that refuses to believe he lost that election. It's all of us. And it's our right to.

If citizens of Finland enjoy better mental health, do you ever wonder why? Perhaps it is because their government makes accesses to education and healthcare easier and more affordable for them as well as other programs that assist the population.

You cannot perform better than Vance did. Marvelous

[KobyMorris-wy]

Damn I think Vance should be president

[serendra]

Walz said he misspoke? That's twice in a row now. He didn't even answer the question directly. How can you say you have been in a place where a massacre occurred when you were not?

[redrobin]

They both have some good points. Love to finally see some empathetic interaction and civility.

So, Vence fact-checked the modorators 😂

[LetelaVusi]

The young man is undisputed and believe me the young man is a future Goat in debate watch the space 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 CBS with Kamala lost 😂 Red Sea is powerful 🎉🎉🎉

For those of you who are bashing the moderators for FACT CHECKING a candidate for LYING: there was a time when journalists would report the truth, rather than passively allow misinformation to be broadcast to millions of people, despite the imbeciles who would rather be lied to, so that they could feel good about their false beliefs.

The debate was very civil. It was pleasant to hear people trying to make their case without name calling-trump style, etc. Walz asked the question, "did trump lose the election" and got a no answer answer. That happened several times. Walz answered most questions directly. Vance was trying to get his talking points in, rather than directly answering questions. It's very difficult to defend trump but Vance gets points for trying, using a lot of words, in a very slick practiced way. Walz admitted that he misspoke, Vance concurred that he also misspeaks. I was already for Harris-Walz, so the question is did this debate help undecided voters decide on one or the other? I'd bet that Walz's answers and demeanor helped some undecideds to come to the Democratic side. Vance's very slick, very practiced affect made almost every thing he said seem false.
