A Civil and Agreeable Debate

The debate between the candidates was characterized by a surprising level of civility and friendliness, contrasting sharply with their previous aggressive exchanges. Both Senator Vance and Governor Walz focused on identifying common ground, making their strongest criticisms aimed at their party leaders rather than each other. Vance's experience as a debater allowed him to articulate his points with confidence, while Walz's notable moment came when he passionately defended democracy at the end. Although both candidates were likable, the impact of their debate on the broader election outcome remains uncertain.
