JD Vance's top-line imperative was to demonstrate to America just how extravagantly not-weird he is.

Tim Walz struggled to back up his charm with something steelier and more purposeful than relatability.

The performance of the two contenders for vice-president was a useful measure of where each campaign thinks its weaknesses lie.

There was a fleeting moment when I thought Senator Vance dropped his mask, and that was 30 minutes in.

Walz, playing the more-gracious-than-thou game, allowed that Senator Vance is genuinely interested in solving the immigration problem, but that, by standing with Donald Trump ” he was only making it worse.
