Hey friends, sending out the latest joint video pod with myself and Patrick Pfingsten of
— we break down the stakes (or lack thereof) in tonight’s big VP debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.A lot of potential upside here for Vance, given he’s walking in with historically low popularity and downside for Walz, who has been shielded from big media interviews throughout this abbreviated campaign.
And make sure to swing by during the debate, we'll be hosting a livestream on the Substack App — what’s on your Midwest Nice bingo card? Patrick put $100 down on a hot dish promise from the stage. I’ll go ahead and put down $25 on Vance’s love of chicken curry.
After the debate, be sure to tune in to LiveNow from Fox, where I’ll be recapping the night with Andrew Craft and then SiriusXM POTUS Channel 124 where I’ll be on with The Julie Mason.
Cheers,
Tom
