O’Reilly: Vance succeeded by making 'himself human' at VP debate
(NewsNation) — Ohio Sen. JD Vance “made himself human” during the vice presidential debate, doing a great service to the Republican ticket, Bill O’Reilly told NewsNation Tuesday evening.
O’Reilly praised Vance’s performance, saying the senator “did his ticket more good than Walz did his.”
“What JD Vance accomplished is that he made himself human, unlike Donald Trump, who never does that,” he said. “And he made himself accessible.”
Vance squared off with Walz in the first and likely only VP debate, which was hosted by CBS News.
The freshman GOP senator from Ohio, and the two-term Democratic governor of Minnesota got the chance to introduce themselves, make the case for their running mates and go on the attack against the opposing ticket.
The two faced each other on a number of issues, including the economy, border control and reproductive rights.
Though he thinks Vance won, O’Reilly said, “Walz wasn’t bad.”
“I’d invite him to Thanksgiving dinner, but he wouldn’t get dessert” because he would be “tedious,” O’Reilly said.
He also agreed that the pair had a “much better” time than the September presidential debate, but he lamented that both Vance and Walz “still dodged” questions.
