10/2 Vice Presidential Debate Recap!

October 2, 2024

It’s Hump Day! Sam and Emma break down the biggest moments from the Vice Presidential debate last night. First, they run through updates on post-VP Debate polling, Iran’s barrage on Israel, Israel’s decimation of a Gazan orphanage and barring of the UN Secretary-General, the rising death toll of Hurricane Helene, US labor action, and Eric Adams’ last refuge, also unpacking Rep Ruwa Romman’s recent thread on what it means to expand the Democratic coalition. After briefly touching on the lingering electoral impact of the Biden Administration’s State Department bloodlust, Sam and Emma dive deep into last night’s Vice Presidential debate, including Walz’s success in highlighting the importance of the Iran Nuclear Deal during a ridiculous opening portion on Iran, Vance’s failure to not dig even deeper into his absurd, shameful, and vitriolic lies about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. They also touch on Walz’s ability to center the success of the ACA in attacking Trump’s “concept of a plan,” and his perfect setup of JD Vance during a conversation on January 6th. They wrap up by briefly expanding on the greater electoral impact (however minimal) of the debate, and what we can glean about the final month of the race.

And in the Fun Half: Emma and the MR Team parse through the numbers on Walz’s and Vance’s debate performances, watch Walz’s new post-debate ad, and tackle the Dem’s choice to campaign for moderates rather than reach out to low-propensity partisans. A Caller from Vancouver Island on the low expectations for Kamala’s approach to Israel’s genocide, Ally from South Carolina on Harris swing state campaigning, and Miguel from Arkansas on the shortcomings of ranked-choice voting. Noted ghoul Donald Trump Jr reflects on the harrowing experience of having to tell his kids about their grandfather or something, and other noted ghoul Matthew Miller openly states that the Biden Administration “never wanted to see a diplomatic solution with Hamas.” Plus, your calls and IMs!
