Vice-Presidential Candidates Shape Electoral Dynamics

In this unique election cycle, vice-presidential debates take on unexpected significance as new dynamics unfold. With Joe Biden dropping out, Kamala Harris ascended to the top position on the Democratic ticket, quickly selecting Tim Walz as her running mate. Conversely, Donald Trump announced JD Vance as his new vice-presidential candidate. JD Vance, relatively new to national politics and only 40, has a brief and less notable Senate tenure but is recognized for effectively communicating and supporting the Trump agenda. These developments suggest that voter perceptions may still be in flux, challenging the conventional view that voters have made firm decisions by this point in the campaign.
