Summary
Imagine a political world where Donald Trump doesn’t exist. That’s what the VP debate sounded like on CBS last night. There was none of the crazy talk. No stage stalking. Not a whisper of a pet eating migrant...It was just two blokes talking policy rather delicately.
Tim Walz seemed nervous to a slicker more spirited JD Vance. But ultimately the Minnesota governor probably had the knock out blow when he asked his opponent “who won“ the last election. And JD Vance couldn’t say. Will this change the dial of a very tight race?

| 0:26.6 | situation? |
| 0:27.6 | That is a damning non-answer. |
| 0:29.6 | Has she, it's a damning non-answer for you to not talk about censorship. |
| 0:32.6 | Is that the first time in history that a vice presidential nominee has been unable to say who won |
| 0:41.1 | the last election. This was the debate between Tim Wals and J.D. Vance last night. And we're going to |
| 0:49.7 | tell you how it went. But overwhelmingly, it was polite, which is not something that we can say about the two |
