On the night of October 1, Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz took the stage in New York City to discuss and defend their proposed policies and viewpoints. The questions largely revolved around the presidential candidates, President Trump and Vice President Harris, but both VP candidates also took the opportunity to introduce themselves to Americans, seeking to define themselves as trustworthy and confident.

Following the debate, searches for “who won the vp debate tonight” topped Google trends. Even on Wednesday, news sites and social media still buzzed with discussion over who won the debate.

As these discussions continue throughout the week, IFA has one question for you: Who do YOU think won the debate? We invite you to share your thoughts and comments below and to respectfully discuss your thoughts with other intercessors!

For those who did not get a chance to tune in Tuesday night, you can watch the debate in its entirety below:

At the time he made it, I wasn’t clear about President Trumps pick of J.D. Vance. I just didn’t know enough about J.D. I now understand why President Trump made this pick. If we as a Nation are blessed enough to have President Trump again become our President, We the People will have a second in command that has the ability to LISTEN and effectively communicate, yet I believe will respectfully let the President know privately if he differs on a position. He will have a YOUNG person that is being groomed to take over in the future. A person who has respect for others, but yet holds firm to the ideals and values of this Republic. Who won the debate you ask, in my humble opinion after viewing what I listened to the other night, it was won the day President Trump picked J.D. Vance. Thank you President Trump for this pick, and your wisdom with this one, and may the wind of the LORD be behind you and J.D. to win this Nation back for “We the People”.

Vance won! The debate was a perfect platform to introduce to America the next Vice President of the United States, JD Vance.

Senator Vance conducted himself eloquently with grace and truth. I believe he clearly won the debate, especially amid the bias of the moderators.

I’m not sure that I can say either candidate “won” the debate.
I was thankful that it was civil, but once again it appeared that the moderators were biased against the Republican candidate.
Overall, I was disappointed, believing that J. D. Vance missed a lot of opportunities to set the Republicans apart in big ways from the Democrats.

As to who “won” the debate on Tuesday night, I do believe that J.D. Vance had an overall better performance than Tim Walz. I was totally unimpressed with Walz ,especially when he was questioned about his Tianneman Square issue. He sure wasn’t able or willing to be honest about it. For that very reason, I feel that he lost the debate.

JD Vance definitely won The debate. He was honest and calm, and Tim Walz lied so much and you could see in his face that he was nervous and being dishonest.

It appears JD Vance won – he stayed on topic, addressed moderators by name, acknowledged points of agreement with Tim Walz, emphasized the value of marriage and family, and remained calm throughout the debate. Walz, on the other hand, brought Trump into the debate on every topic, continuing the practice of blaming Trump for the sad state of affairs of America. In the end, Vance proved his allegiance to America while Walz failed on four points: his position on abortion (especially legislation in the state of MN), his presence in China and his connection to the CCP, his having declared MN a refuge state for abortion up to birth and the mutilation of children through sex altering treatments, and taxation. MN had a $17 Billion tax surplus – of that eligible single residents received a $250 rebate and married couples a $500 rebate. He committed a significant amount to education what he committed and what was actually allocated are very different. Last but certainly not least was Walz’s inaction when Minneapolis burned on 2020.

I don’t look at who “won” the debate but who presents himself more like a Vice President of the once great nation USA. That person is JD Vance.

We need to get over this two party paradigm and its illusion of choice. We are being played by a radical, intelligent evil, the spirit of Antichrist, as the Global elite march the ball down the field. Yes vote, but put your trust in Jesus Christ alone. He has to go first, or no nation can last.

J D Vance blew him out of the park. He was so professional while Walz was shaking in his pants. Walz appeared confused a lot during the debate where Vance was a true professional and was outstanding in his individual presentations. The two ladies again were so ridiculous and J D put them in their place. Walz appeared confused at times and Vance was extremely prepared and knew what he was talking about. Walz and Kamala are two of the worst speakers that we ever had in government. Trump and Vance can lead us to a point when we need to be. The democrats are in no position to lead our country.

JD Vance was very articulate, respectful, bold in his fact filled responses.. He was ready with providing factual answers to each question given to him, and did not allow the moderators to intimidate him.

JD Vance was confident, intelligent, well-spoken, informed, not intimidated by moderators, and was respectful while getting his point across. He most aligns with my stand on various issues according to my faith and Biblical standards.

J.D. Vance proved why D. J.Trump considered him, although young, to be a wise choice for a running mate and possible future president! Well versed on each subject presented, forceful when needed and dignified. The following day many on the left had kind words to say about him. Reminds me of the scripture “When a man’s ways are right with the Lord even his enemies are at peace with him.”

Most conservative websites will say Vance won, most liberals will say Walz. Both sides made up stuff. The bottom line is whose policies align with biblical principles. I would have to say Republicans.

    I do not agree that “both sides made up stuff.” I heard several lies from Walz., but did not hear anything “made up” by Vance. Vance did a great job overall, but failed to refute the lies. 2 examples: 1) The border bill won’t solve the border problem because it requires at least 5000 immigrants to come in daily before closing the border and that can be overrided to allow for more, so it would force the next president to continue the open borders policy. 2) Trump neither created, read, or supports Project 25. He is unable to support something he has not evaluated.
    Vance came off as presidential, competent, intelligent, and compassionate, so won the debate. Walz came off as more moderate than he really is, and sincere about serving the people, (though the ideas of Harris/Walz are likely to worsen the current problems with an unstable world, open borders, crime and inflation ) so scored a few points, while looking like a deer in the headlights.

    Only Jesus can save America. People need to sop glorifying DJT. Until he himself bows his knee in submission to Christ and points the country back to God, then there is hope.

      I believe Jesus already made His move by Trump selecting JD Vance. He certainly practices good Christian policies already. Yes I do think the Lord guided Trump in the right position. I think JD and his presentation will put Trump in and together they can bring America back. They will live people in the USA but they will use the proper ways to do it, unlike the idiot in charge now or should I say two idiots.

Clearly Vance was the winner. He was confident and got his point across. Walz on the other hand, confirmed that he is in fact a knucklehead and he got his governing style from China.!
