Binyamin Appelbaum remarked that JD Vance effectively presented a version of his party's ticket that might broaden its appeal, making Trumpism seem polite and coherent. Yet, the real question remains whether voters will see beyond this performance given its stark contrast to the behavior and views of Donald Trump.
Josh Barro pointed out that while Vance exhibited agility over Tim Walz in the initial stages of the debate, he faltered later, particularly on contentious topics such as abortion and the 2020 election, where his rhetorical finesse couldn't overcome the deficiencies of his stances.
Charles M. Blow declared Walz the winner of the debate, reflecting on his authoritative presence and preparation, likening his performance to that of a dedicated teacher. In comparison, Vance's attempt to avoid being overly condescending resulted in a lackluster presentation, showing signs of discomfort with disowning past remarks.
