“Christ, Have Mercy”: Puck Superfriends Chop Up The VP Debate

John is joined by his colleagues Dylan Byers and Peter Hamby to discuss the vice-presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz. The Puck Superfriends analyze Walz’s wobbliness in the debate’s first half, his recovery in the second, and his late-stage landing of the night’s strongest and most sound-bite-friendly attack (on the topic of January 6); Vance’s undeniable forensic chops, apparent allergy to factual accuracy, and stubborn refusal to admit that Donald Trump lost the last election; how well Nora O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan of CBS News acquitted themselves as moderators; how pleased (or not) the GOP nominee might be with Vance's performance—and whether it will affect the likelihood of Trump agreeing to debate Kamala Harris again.
