Walz debated with JD Vance: there was no KO in the “men of the people” duel, just courtesy (yes, courtesy)

With the American presidential race at an impasse, given the tie recorded in most polls between the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, and the Republican rival, Donald Trump, those chosen by each of them for potential vice president faced each other in the last television debate of the campaign.

As a rule, the duel between the second figures generates little interest. “After his election, vice presidents have one goal: to stay relevantwith a view to a future candidacy for the top position”, Thomas Patterson, professor of Political Science and Journalism at Harvard University, tells Expresso.
