Vance Emerges Victorious in VP Debate

By Dorothy Moon

Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate, Republican Senator JD Vance dominated Democrat Governor Tim Walz, showcasing why the Trump-Vance ticket is the best choice for Idaho and the nation. Vance’s confident and articulate delivery of his policies, coupled with his commitment to traditional American values, set him apart from the visibly nervous and at times, discombobulated Walz.

Throughout the debate, Walz’s comments, such as admitting to being “friends with school shooters” and labeling himself a “knucklehead,” raised eyebrows and highlighted the stark contrast between the two candidates. Vance remained focused on the issues that matter most to Idahoans, showcasing his deep understanding of the challenges facing our state.

Vance effectively fact-checked the moderators on issues like Temporary Protected Status, demonstrating his expertise of the subject matter. He also delivered powerful answers on the border crisis, climate change, and abortion, which resonates with Idaho voters who prioritize these issues.

Idaho Democrats have taken similarly radical stances on abortion, making them just as extreme as their counterparts. As Idahoans, we must recognize the importance of electing leaders who align with our values and will fight for our state’s future.

Vance restored hope that with President Trump’s return, we can save our country and improve life for all Americans. He effectively exposed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as failed, radical leftists who offer only empty slogans without substance. Vance called out Harris for her role in destroying our southern border, creating record inflation that makes life unaffordable for millions, and enabling Iran’s attacks on Israel. He also posed the most critical question of the night: why hasn’t Harris fulfilled any of her campaign promises during her 3 1/2 years in office? A Harris-Walz administration would make families less prosperous and less safe, but President Trump and Senator Vance will save our country and Make America Great Again. As Idahoans, it is crucial to support Vance and his conservative values, ensuring our state’s future remains bright and secure.

As we continue in this election season, let us support JD Vance and his conservative values, ensuring Idaho remains a beacon of traditional American values and thrives in the face of the challenges that lie ahead. A vote for Trump-Vance ticket is a vote for a brighter, more secure future for Idaho and our shared conservative principles.
