A largely civil and arguably quite informative debate between the Democratic nominee, Governor Tim Walz, and the Republican nominee. Senator JD Vance Tuesday night underlined one thing. We need another presidential debate.
Both Walz and Vance stuck to familiar positions on issues on the debate stage, whether it be on the economy, health care, energy or immigration. No new ground was broken, no dramatic changes in policy emerged.
Still, in my estimation, the debate was very important for a fundamental reason: it was civil, it was informative, and it included a surprisingly high level of bipartisanship that was conspicuously absent from the 2024 presidential race.
It is certain that Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump Saw the debate. And I’m sure both have concluded that their respective peers have done an excellent job in outlining their core positions as well as attacking their rivals.
Vance, Walz vice presidential debate ends with both candidates talking ‘new’ future
But most importantly, there was a comment Tuesday night that I think both candidates echoed in their own ways: that we can do better as Americans, we can solve our own problems. And can provide leadership as those who disagree, and sometimes vigorously, but with a broader purpose beyond our narrow partisan concerns.
The nearly two-hour program underlined this key point: You can’t run only on happiness and you can’t run only on bitterness about what has happened in the past.
This is not just a sermon. This is too much. This is a massive call a different kind of politicsEven if indirectly done by both candidates, it is a recognition of the extraordinary challenges we face domestically and internationally in the wake of Iran’s attack on Israel. And most of all, it underlines to me why both presidential candidates need to immediately accept invitations from various news networks for another debate or more debates in the final 35 days of this campaign.
It is almost certain that no minds were changed on Tuesday night.
Walz repeats lies about abortion, death in Georgia, doctors call it ‘fear mongering’
To be sure, pundits will be examining what the candidates said or didn’t say about immigration and abortion. Two subjects on which they completely disagree. But both vice presidential candidates were largely repeating and underscoring what their respective candidates have said and believed.
The main thing now is for the media to focus on what the American people want and need extraordinary race Comes to the finish line. Both presidential campaigns need to meet face to face at least once, if not more often, to discuss and debate their positions on issues with greater specificity and precision than before.
The 2024 presidential race is now an effective statistical tie. This is especially true when one looks at the seven key swing states in this election. There is some uncertainty about where the candidates stand on the important issues facing our country after last month’s fiery presidential debate, which was more divisive in person than informative.
JD Vance reminds CBS moderator of debate rules after trying to fact-check
To make an informed choice as Americans, we need a repeat of what happened to Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on Tuesday night. Both presidential candidates need to tell us in programmatic terms what they will do on the economy, immigration, crime, health care, energy and, of course, foreign affairs, an important topic that received no attention anywhere. Qualified and expected.
The level of American voters’ dissatisfaction with the candidates and the political process cannot be underestimated. We saw what the American people should get but haven’t got yet in this presidential election.

Both the candidates for the post of Vice President were being liked on Tuesday night. Vance had never been seen like this before. On the debate stage, it was hard not to sympathize with him, even if you disagreed with him. Likewise, Walz acted as the person everyone liked.

My takeaway from Tuesday night is that, for almost the first time this election cycle, Vance and Walz quietly acknowledged that voters need something more before Election Day. It’s up to Trump and Harris to give it to them in person, at least one more time, if not more.
The country deserves nothing less than this.
