That concludes Townhall's coverage of the 2024 vice presidential debate between Republican Senator JD Vance and former Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. 

JD Vance dominated the showdown. Tim Walz wasn’t terrible, but his overall performance was uneven and sometimes very sloppy. It was clear that Vance was the better debater. 

This was the only VP debate this cycle. The election is 35 days away. Before shutting down the live blog, we want to ensure you saw our special offer to join Townhall VIP. We’re offering 60 percent off for our VIP program. It’s for TONIGHT ONLY

Trump campaign on the debate: 

"Senator Vance unequivocally won tonight's debate in dominating fashion. It was the best debate performance from any Vice-Presidential candidate in history.

Senator Vance spoke the truth, eloquently prosecuted the case against Kamala Harris' failed record, and effectively held Governor Tim Walz accountable for his lies on behalf of the Harris-Biden Administration.

Senator Vance also perfectly articulated the Trump-Vance vision to make America safe again with their plan to launch the largest mass deportation operation in history; to make America strong again with a peace through strength foreign policy agenda; and to make America wealthy again by cutting taxes, unleashing American energy dominance, and ending inflation.

Tonight, Senator Vance proved why President Trump chose him as his running mate. Together, they make the strongest and most dynamic presidential ticket ever, and they are going to win on November 5th." - Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita

I always thought that Walz's constant droning on about minding one's business was annoying, as he did in his closing statement tonight, but it's even more ridiculous given how his state handled COVID in such a way. And why wasn't that discussed more?!

Thanks for following along with Townhall's coverage of the 2024 vice presidential debate between Republican Senator JD Vance and former Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.  

Apparently, Tim Walz is a school shooter’s best friend. It’s been a fantastic night for JD Vance, who dominated it. It’s fitting that Facebook and censorship were brought up before closing statements. 

Speaking of censorship, joining Townhall VIP allows us to engage in conservative journalism without being suffocated by Big Tech algorithms. Tonight, we’re offering 60 percent off our VIP program

Good answer from Vance to remind how Trump said for people to protest "peacefully" on January 6. This is an excellent way of handling the issue of a "threat to democracy" when the real threat is censorship.
