Watch: JD Vance Leaves Tim Walz All Alone in Very Awkward Moment Before Debate Even Starts
In a recent vice presidential debate, GOP Senator J.D. Vance from Ohio displayed confidence and command while Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota appeared noticeably nervous. The debate commenced with a handshake, after which Vance proactively engaged with the CBS News moderators, contrasting with Walz’s hesitant demeanor as he remained at his podium. During the event, Vance emanated a relaxed air, likening his approach to a casual conversation.
While Walz struggled with initial questions and maintained a stiff posture, Vance adeptly reframed discussions to highlight key issues he deemed important. A notable moment arose when Vance challenged a false immigration claim made by the moderators, prompting them to mute him. He illustrated the situation by suggesting that under Vice President Kamala Harris’s administration, illegal migrants could obtain legal status with ease, using vivid imagery to convey his point effectively to the audience. Vance’s performance was characterized by authority and poise, amplifying the contrast with Walz’s struggle during the debate.
GOP Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio definitely won the contest of who appeared more in command at the vice presidential debate with Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and it started before even before the event began.
First, the two men took the stage and shook hands.
Then, Vance left his podium area and went over to shake the hands of the CBS News moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan.
Meanwhile, Walz stayed at his podium, cupping his hands to the front and awkwardly smiling.
Why he didn’t follow Vance’s example is not clear.

Meanwhile, Vance, a Yale Law School graduate, appeared relaxed — like he was having a conversation in his own living room.

Throughout the early questions, he consistently re-framed them to discuss what he felt was important.
In a powerful moment, he was falsely fact checked on immigration and explained how the Biden-Harris administration has abused the nation’s immigration laws to give legal status to millions of migrants.

Using an app, he said, “You can go on as an illegal migrant and apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand.”
It was a perfect way to put a visual in the minds of the audience, showing just how cavalier Harris has been regarding immigration to the detriment of the country.
