Voting advisor commends verbal altercation between American vice presidential nominees during televised debate
In the recent vice-presidential debate, Kamala Harris delivered a commendable performance, according to election strategist Julius van de Laar. Her comments on foreign policy and climate change were described as what was hoped for from Joe Biden.
On the other side, Mike Pence managed to form a coherent message during the debate, but his decision not to engage further with questions about Trump's statements was, according to van de Laar, inevitable. Pence's handling of these questions was, however, rhetorically well-handled, as described by the strategist.
Despite the debate, van de Laar did not expect it to significantly influence the election. He also noted the Republican Party's alignment with Trump's personality, as indicated by Pence not distancing himself from Trump. This alignment led van de Laar to state that the Republican Party as we knew it no longer exists and is now the party of Donald Trump.
Interestingly, the current chairperson of the Republican Party in the USA is not explicitly named in the search results. However, given Trump's presidency beginning in January 2025 and his strong influence over the party, it is likely that the party leadership closely supports or is affiliated with him.
Van de Laar, who could not publicly contradict the president, commended Harris' performance in the debate. He also described Harris' comments on foreign policy and climate change as what was hoped for from Joe Biden.

In conclusion, the vice-presidential debate did not significantly alter the election's trajectory, but it did highlight the continued alignment of the Republican Party with Trump's personality and policies.
