Debate Reviews: Media Elite Admit JD Vance’s Performance Was Spectacular
Vance’s dominant debate performance earned him rare praise from some liberal media outlets.
BRIETBART
Members of the media elite acknowledged after Tuesday’s debate that vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) was the undisputed winner of the showdown with vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).
“Vance’s Dominant Debate Performance Shows Why He’s Trump’s Running Mate,” Ross Douthat titled a New York Times column:
Vance’s performance has included a dose of self-conscious humanization, an attempted reintroduction to his blue-collar background and striking personal biography after weeks of effective Democratic attacks on his right-wing podcast commentary. It’s included some careful rhetorical tap dancing and policy jujitsu on issues like climate change and abortion. But mostly it’s just been an effective prosecution of the case against the Biden-Harris administration, focusing relentlessly on encouraging viewers to be nostalgic for the economy, the immigration landscape and the relative foreign-policy calm of Trump’s term.
Among the 12 voters who leaned toward former President Donald Trump and Vance before the debate, five said they would “definitely” vote for Trump afterward. Seven said they would still probably vote for Trump.
And among the nine voters who leaned toward Vice President Kamala Harris and Walz before the debate, six said they would definitely support Harris after the debate. Two said they would probably vote for Harris. One switched to probably backing Trump.
Finally, among the two voters who were undecided before the debate, one said they would probably vote for Harris and one said they would vote for a third-party candidate.
CNN’s debate panel acknowledged that Vance landed several devastating blows to Harris during the debate, leaving Walz unable to respond.
“When JD Vance said one of the many, many things he really hit Kamala Harris on, not Tim Walz, but Kamala Harris, he [Walz] didn’t respond because he clearly had things in his mind,” CNN anchor Dana Bash said.
“I agree,” Anchor Jake Tapper said. “I mean, JD Vance is much more experienced at this, at public speaking, at defending himself, at pivoting.”
