J.D. Vance Gives Response When Asked How He is Preparing for His Upcoming Debate with Tim Walz
On Tuesday, U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) held a press conference in Kenosha, Wisconsin, focused on crime and safety in the Badger State. The location is particularly apt because Kenosha was the place of arguably the most violent BLM riots in 2020 following the justified shooting of armed felon Jacob Blake.
During his press conference, Vance was asked by a reporter how he is preparing himself for a debate against Minnesota Governor and pathological liar Tim “Stolen Valor” Walz, who lies about seemingly everything. The sole VP candidate debate is scheduled for October 1st on CBS.
In characteristic fashion, Vance responded with a quip that resonated well with the conservative crowd. “Preparing for a debate with Tim Walz?” Vance chuckled, “I just read through a list of lies and contradictions from his previous speeches. It’s like prepping for a comedy show—except this one’s more predictable.”

Vance’s remark has not only sparked widespread amusement but has also solidified his reputation as a politician unafraid to speak his mind, even when confronted with the prospects of a challenging political showdown.
Vance’s jab at Walz comes as no surprise to those familiar with his candid rhetoric.
The Ohio Senator has made headlines for his unfiltered takes on political adversaries and his commitment to exposing what he sees as the hypocrisy of the left. His response also reflects the ongoing tension between Republicans and Democrats as they head into the upcoming election cycle, with debates serving as crucial battlegrounds for defining campaign narratives.
Vance’s remarks gained additional traction on social media, where conservative commentators lauded his ability to cut through what they perceive as the disingenuousness of his opponents. “Vance’s humor isn’t just about getting laughs,” noted one commentator on The Gateway Pundit, “It’s about revealing the truth in a way that resonates with everyday Americans. Walz’s record is filled with contradictions, and Vance just called it out for what it is.”
Just when you couldn’t love JD Vance more – he comes out with this. Ha!!

The debate between Vance and Walz is highly anticipated, particularly given the sharp ideological differences between the two politicians. Vance, a staunch advocate for conservative values, has repeatedly criticized Walz for what he considers to be weak leadership, particularly in handling issues like public safety and economic policy. In a recent interview, Vance highlighted Walz’s record, pointing to what he called the governor’s “utter failure” in maintaining law and order during the unrest in Minneapolis and other parts of Minnesota.
Walz, on the other hand, has attempted to position himself as a moderate voice within the Democratic Party, though his actions and policies have often drawn criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. His leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his stance on law enforcement have been particularly contentious, drawing ire from conservatives who argue that his policies have only exacerbated the challenges facing Minnesotans.
Vance’s approach to the upcoming debate suggests that he plans to emphasize these points, holding Walz accountable for what he sees as a pattern of dishonesty and incompetence. The senator’s strategy appears to be resonating with his base, as his supporters eagerly await the face-off, confident that Vance will emerge victorious. “It’s not just about winning a debate,” said a Vance supporter at the Kenosha event, “It’s about exposing the truth and making sure the American people know who they can trust to lead.”
As the debate approaches, political observers will be watching closely to see how both candidates perform under the pressure of live scrutiny. While Walz may attempt to defend his record, Vance’s quick wit and unapologetic conservatism may prove to be formidable obstacles for the Minnesota governor. With the stakes higher than ever, this debate promises to be a defining moment in the ongoing battle for the future of American politics.
In the end, Vance’s humorous yet pointed response is more than just a clever remark—it’s a reflection of his broader political philosophy, one that prioritizes truth, accountability, and a no-nonsense approach to governance. As the debate draws near, one thing is certain: J.D. Vance is ready, and he’s not pulling any punches.
