Why did Vance win the vice presidential debate?
1. Vance has better personal qualities.
Vance graduated from the world-renowned Yale Law School, while Waltz graduated from the little-known Chadron State College.
After graduation, Vance was spotted by venture capitalist Thiel and joined the venture capital industry. American investment banks, venture capital and other industries are gathering places for top talents. Vance can be among them, which shows his quality; while Waltz worked in the education industry in his early years and later in politics. He is excellent, but not top.
2. Vance's experience is more legendary
Vance was born in the rust belt area. His family was extremely unstable in his early years. It is commendable that he can achieve a counterattack in life. Moreover, he wrote an autobiography "Hillbilly Elegy" based on his personal experience at a young age. It was sold all over the United States. It was later adapted into a movie and achieved good box office results.
In 2022, he first entered politics and was immediately elected as a federal senator. In 2024, he was nominated as a vice presidential candidate. It can be said to be a cheat.
His legendary experience must have provided rich nourishment for his thoughts; in contrast, Waltz's experience is quite ordinary, although excellent, it is not legendary.
3. Vance is younger
Vance is 39 years old, which is the prime of his life, he is young and strong, with rich experience and agile thinking; Waltz is 60 years old, his energy is definitely not as good as Vance, and his thinking is not as agile as Vance.
4. Vance's university major is law
Lawyers are good at debates. It can be said that Vance has received professional training in debates; but Waltz's university major is education, and he has no relevant experience.
