JD Vance and Tim Walz embraced that most endangered of American political species: agreement.

Vance looked comfortable on stage and in his own skin, presenting himself as the reasonable Trump .

Walz by contrast had moments in which he came across as tense and uneasy, the pre-debate nerves that had been reported by CNN appearing to have been genuine.

On abortion he followed his running mate's lead and spoke movingly about the personal impact of Trump ’s effective evisceration of Roe v Wade .

He invoked the story of Amber Thurman , who died as she traveled in search of reproductive care from Georgia to North Carolina .

Vance had the audacity to claim Harris 's attempts to “censor’t misinformation in public discourse posed a far greater threat to democracy than the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
