Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump praised their respective running mates -- Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance -- as their campaigns worked to spin how well they performed at Tuesday night's vice-presidential debate.
Trump took to Truth Social to criticize the unsealing of a 165-page document from special counsel Jack Smith as a DOJ ‘hit job,’ while Harris discussed federal support for Georgia in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
CBS News poll finds Walz and Vance improved their standing in what debate watchers said was a positive debate.
Four years ago, 57 million tuned in to the only vice presidential debate of the 2020 election cycle between Harris and then-Vice President Mike Pence. In 2008, a record 69.9 million watched Joe Biden and Sarah Palin face off on television in the most-watched VP debate, according to Nielsen.
Vice presidential candidates Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance squared off for the first and only time this election season. Unlike the last two presidential debates, the candidates appeared to be more cordial.
According to an average of late-Tuesday polls from CNN/SSRS, YouGov/CBS News, Focaldata/Politico and J.L. Partners/DailyMail.com, 48 percent of debate watchers thought that Vance was the winner or turned in the best performance, while 46 percent thought that Walz was the winner or did the best.
Harris and Trump debated each other last month in Philadelphia, a faceoff that Harris was widely regarded as having won. Harris has been pushing Trump to agree to another debate later this month, but so far, he has been reluctant to commit to a rematch.
He’s got an answer for everything,” Walz says about JD Vance (Bowen Yang) at one point. Vance smiles and earnestly replies, “Thank you. That’s quite kind.” Later, the sketch mocked Walz’s debate flub about him claiming to have been in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Live,' Tim Walz (Jim Gaffigan) and JD Vance (Bowen Yang) debated each other — and had a tender moment together.
