The Vice Presidential debate between Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance had its share of tense moments this time. Linsey Davis, who moderated previous debates, noted that Walz's performance mirrored Joe Biden’s faltering debate against Trump, characterized by awkward and uncomfortable exchanges.

Walz faced scrutiny for misstating his whereabouts during the Tiananmen Square massacre, which he admitted as a mistake. Vance, though criticized for dodging questions, managed to maintain his likable persona. However, both candidates’ performances left little clarity for undecided voters.

The VP debate performance between Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and JD Vance has drawn significant attention, particularly due to its comparison to Joe Biden's debate against Donald Trump in June. Moreover, the dismal performance by Walz has now ended up putting things in a major fix in the US elections, with the polls set to start in a few weeks from now.


Was Walz uncomfortable?

Linsey Davis from ABC News highlighted that Walz's performance, which she characterized as having uncomfortable and "cringey" moments, did not provide clarity for undecided voters. She noted that it reminded her of Biden's earlier debate, where Biden struggled to articulate his points effectively.

However, things are also in a good light for Walz, as some of his statements stood quite well for the Democrats, who are rooting for him and Harris in the US polls 2024.
