Republican Insiders Were Thrilled By J.D. Vance's Debate
Briefly

"After Donald Trump's ill-fated debate against Kamala Harris, J.D. Vance not only exceeded expectations but was widely praised by Republican operatives for his performance against Tim Walz."
"One Republican in Vance world simply said, 'We killed it.' His debate performance was seen as particularly noteworthy given the lackluster performance of his Democratic rival Tim Walz."
"Walz was surprisingly underwhelming, especially during his rambling explanation of his past claims about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests."
"An establishment Republican expressed hope that Vance's strong showing would resonate with undecided voters and boost Trump, given their previous concerns about his performance."
