Molly Ball: “Without Donald Trump there as an easy target, Democrats’ argument is much harder to make.”
“That was the most obvious conclusion from Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate between Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz. With deftness, discipline and finesse, Vance, the Ohio senator, prosecuted the case against the current administration while calling back to a not-always-recognizable vision of Trump’s term in office—and his exit from it—as a time of comparative peace and prosperity. Walz, the Minnesota governor, seemed nervous and struggled to make clear arguments in defense of his ticketmate, Vice President Kamala Harris.”
