As someone already said, this debate feels very Pence-Harris coded.

Pence was (imo) better there on the debate stage but Harris did sufficiently well that with electoral trends, the perception favored her.

Vance is putting up a very strong showing playing to the people he needs to play to. He sounds intelligent and coherent (irrespective of what the content of his speech is), and he has enough populist flair and skewers Walz rhetorically enough that he can easily call it a win (and is probably right to).

Walz on the other hand has done solid enough that he has gotten his key talking points out and can say he got Vance to go mask off on sufficiently enough that he can play it off as well.

I doubt it will have much electoral impact however. People will probably forget this in a bit.
