Good morning.
JD Vance is a better debater than Tim Walz. When the vice-presidential candidates squared off in their first and only debate last night, Vance was masterful at dodging tough questions, reframing inconvenient truths, and presenting himself as a reasonable middle-of-the-road thinker committed to substantive and nuanced discussion. Walz conveyed his key points but didn’t challenge the new narrative or persona put forth by his opponent.
