If you agree with Vance on so much then why should we vote for you?\u201d MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend asked the governor. \u201cSen. Vance is giving revisionist history on Trump\u2019s agenda &amp; what they would do &amp; b\/c the moderators are not fact checking\u2026it sounds sane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWalz\u2019s answers are smart and substantive. But I hate to say it, the delivery is a bit off \u2014 he\u2019s just not as engaging as he often is. Hoping he gets a little more energetic and less nervous as this goes on,\u201d liberal columnist Jill Filipovic said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several Republican lawmakers and top voices praised Vance for his strong performance at the VP debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSenator JD Vance spitting the cold hard TRUTH on the debate stage,\u201d Trump 2024 national press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTim Walz is as radical as they come on the issue of immigration. As governor of Minnesota, he supported free health care, free college tuition, and driver\u2019s licenses for illegal immigrants. Innocent Americans have been assaulted &amp; murdered because of this border crisis.,\u201d Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., wrote on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTim Walz\u2019s answer on Israel was incomprehensible. Like Kamala\u2013Walz has no idea what he is talking about. Kamala and Walz would make the chaos in the Middle East worse,\u201d Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIran rained missiles down on Israel TODAY, 1,350 days into Kamala Harris\u2019 tenure as Vice President, so naturally Tim Walz says it\u2019s Donald Trump\u2019s fault,\u201d Trump campaign senior adviser Tim Murtaugh wrote on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former President Donald Trump also praised Vance for his dominant performance, writing on his Truth Social platform that Vance \u201ccrushed it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJD crushed it! Walz was a Low IQ disaster\u2014very much like Kamala. Our Country would never be able to recover from an Administration of these two.
