Vance vs. Walz Highlights: VP Candidates Spar in Policy-Heavy Debate | WSJ

The vice-presidential debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance was policy rich. They discussed immigration, abortion, housing, taxes and foreign policy in the Middle East with Israel and Iran. Both candidates were mostly civil with each other and focused their attacks on the presidential candidates: Harris and Trump.

Why was this so much better than the presidential debate😭

[Henry-xujg]

It wasn’t entertaining but it was definitely a breath of fresh air

[danjohnston]

Don't Ask " Who Would You Hire as VP of Sales ? "
Ask " Who Would You Hire as VP of Operations ? "

[Goyanks]

I’m taking my own biases out. Both men did great showed class and this is what politics should be. I’ll give Vance the edge he was the better debater.

[MrKim-kvvv]

Regardless of who “won” this debate, it was certainly a pleasure to watch an actual debate!

[Themoosky]

These two would have been far better candidates.

[ImListeningToReason]

I would say the highlight is relatively respectful to one another. Decorum was on display.

[adoptdontshop]

It should have been these two gentlemen battling for the presidency. Both are civil, trying to find common ground to solve issues.

[mbrown]

I came out of this wanting a Vance/Walz presidency. I think it’d be so much better than whatever we will be getting.

[elkillerx]

This is how a presidential debate should be! Both of them did great but I’m giving the win to Vance.

[DigSamurai]

It's interesting that many Americans say they want more civility in politics but then some of the pundits joked that the VP debate was boring. You can't have it both ways.

[incyphe]

It was an enjoyable debate to watch. Much more so than the presidential debate.

[thewiseone]

After watching this debate: where is the Vance/Walz ticket?

[robinw.darnell]

From what I have read the J6 select panel withheld much evidence and prevented it from going into the record.

[freeflowtrader]

Popularity contest. But hey, it’s a tradition that needs to be respected.

[tajlee]

Great debate!

What a breath of fresh air!!😊

[MegaMijit]

So much more mature and productive than the presidential debate

[Seppjos]

Call me crazy but the Walz/Vance ticket sounds better than any alternative😂

[TheRadioAteMyTV]

If this video host ever loses his job at WSJ, he clearly has one waiting at MSNBC or NY Times.

[yuckyool]

Dem's should have had an open convention and actually allowed multiple folks to be nominated, spoken and argued for votes of the delegates.
"Kamala Harris" should change her name to "Not Trump" as she has never accomplished anything in her life.

I am so over Donald Trump, but to his credit, he won a lot more primary votes than DeSantis and Haley so that's who we have for the R candidate.
