CNN Declares Vance Winner – Walz ‘Not Prepared’

Tuesday night’s Vance-Walz showdown was a decisive win for Republicans, with even CNN admitting that the GOP Vice Presidential nominee emerged victorious. After the 90-minute debate, multiple viewer polls declared Vance the winner, while even left-wing media outlets were forced to acknowledge that Walz appeared unprepared. The event was the first Vice Presidential matchup and the final debate of the 2024 election cycle.

“I think we shouldn’t lose sight even in the [ability] that JD Vance came to this debate to land a bunch of punches, and he did,” CNN host Abby Philip said during her post-debate analysis. “He landed a lot of punches. And Tim Walz didn’t seem prepared for it.”

CNN’s audience apparently agreed. Despite being majority Democrat, viewers narrowly awarded Vance the win in a snap poll, at 51 to 49 percent.

Philips continued, “He did not respond to the criticisms and attacks Vance put on the table. He allowed some clear falsehoods. … I mean, I think there was a clear lack of preparation and execution here on Walz’s part.”

Co-host Dana Bash disagreed. She argued that Walz had “so many lines that he was clearly trying to say that he didn‘t listen”

“And when JD Vance said one of the many, many things he really hit Kamala Harris on, not Tim Walz but Kamala Harris, he didn‘t respond because he clearly had things in his mind,” Bash said. “I think the lack of interviews that he has done with national media, with local media, it showed he needed more reps.”

Other legacy news outlets reached the same conclusions. CBS News–the host network of the debate–also published a snap poll favoring Vance. The audience, described as “more Democratic in their party affiliation,” narrowly favored Vance 42 to 41 percent.

Several newspapers also subsequently published columns naming Vane the winner, including the New York Times, Politico, The Hill, and USA Today.

Betting markets also flipped as a result of the debate, according to Forbes. Before the debate, Polymarket bookmakers judged Walz to have a 70 percent chance of victory. By the end of the evening, Vance was on top at 73 percent.

Multiple stand-out moments went viral and defined the evening. Vance received praise on social media for his pushback with the CBS moderators, who violated their own rules to issue a dubious “fact check” during the debate.

“Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected status,” moderator Margaret Brennan said during the immigration segment.

“The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check,” Vance fired back. “And since you are fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on.”

“There is an application ‘CBP One App’ where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum, or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in for a green card and waiting for 10 years,” Vance explained.

The moderators soon after shut off Vance’s microphone.

Later on, Walz stumbled when pressured to correct the record of statements he made about visiting China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Walz has claimed to have been in Hong Kong during that time, but news reports show he did not arrive until later that year.

“I’ve tried to do the best I can, but I’ve not been perfect,” Walz said. “And I’m a knucklehead at times.”
