Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The Ohio senator took his first speaking opportunity at the debate to discuss his upbringing in a working class family, including his family's reliance on food assistance and Social Security as Vance's grandmother raised him while his mother struggled with addiction during his childhood.
42% : "If Kamala Harris has such great plans for how to address middle class problems, then she ought to do them now, not when asking for a promotion, but in the job the American people gave her three and a half years ago, and the fact that she isn't tells you a lot about how much you can trust her actual plans," Vance said.Walz spent a sizable portion of the evening making stark contrasts between Harris and Trump, highlighting the vice president as a stable leader while painting the former president as "fickle."
20% : And the Minnesota governor pressed Vance to acknowledge Trump lost the election and Vance replied "Tim, I'm focused on the future."
18% : He said Vance and Trump had villainized and blamed migrants unfairly for problems rather than looking to solve them, using a bipartisan border security bill, that was eventually knifed by Senate Republicans, as fodder for his point.
