J.D. Vance Clear Winner in Debate Against Tim Walz

ALBUQUERQUE - On October 1, 2024 Night, Republican Ohio Senator J.D. Vance delivered an impressive performance during the first and potentially only Vice Presidential debate against Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

J.D. Vance emerged as the clear winner in the debate against Tim Walz, demonstrating his strong leadership potential and competence. Vance demonstrated composure and gave articulate, well-informed responses to the questions, distinguishing himself from Governor Walz, who appeared visibly nervous and relied on rehearsed talking points. Despite this, the primary concern for New Mexicans is how each candidate plans to enhance their quality of life.

“In tonight’s Vice Presidential debate, Senator Vance demonstrated true leadership by presenting factual, clear statements and outlining a comprehensive plan for moving our country forward,” said Republican Party of New Mexico First Vice Chairwoman Amy Barela. “His focus on policy, solutions, and the future provided a stark contrast to Governor Walz, who opened the debate by shifting blame to the past rather than addressing the pressing issues facing the nation today.

“The reality is that the current Harris administration has had ample opportunity to address these problems but has failed in every key area, from the economy to national security. Instead of taking responsibility or offering concrete solutions, Governor Walz doubled down on the same failed policies that have plagued Minnesota. Bringing those policies to the national stage would only further exacerbate the challenges our country faces.

“Senator Vance has made it clear that he is ready to lead with strength, vision, and a plan for real solutions-something this country desperately needs. For too long, far-left Democrats like Tim Walz, Martin Heinrich, and Gabe Vasquez have prioritized their out-of-touch political agendas and wallets over the best interest of our state. If New Mexicans want to see their economy thrive, the border secured, and their streets safe, the only choice is Trump/Vance and Republicans down the ballot.”
