DAD IN HEADLIGHTS: 'Knucklehead' Tim Walz Bumbles Through Primetime Debate with a Smooth J.D. Vance

Gov. Tim Walz (D., Minn.) made several dubious claims during the vice presidential debate against Sen. J.D. Vance (R., Ohio) on Tuesday, but insisting he "enjoyed" the evening was easily the most far-fetched.

Ever since Vice President Kamala Harris picked Walz as her running mate in August, journalists and other Harris supporters have fawned over his "folksy" charm and "cuddly" demeanor. Some questioned why the Harris campaign has been so reluctant to make "someone billed as Mr. Likable" available for interviews with national outlets.
