How Tim Walz ‘Celebrated’ His Debate Performance Against JD Vance
Tim Walz has revealed how he celebrated his performance during the vice presidential debate, hosted in New York City last night.
A video posted to Walz’ X (formerly Twitter) account shows Walz standing by his team seemingly after the debate. As the group applaud, he can be heard saying a relieved sounding “Yes!”
The clip then cuts to Walz saying: “Yeah, I do wanna get pizza.”
Walz can then be seen entering a pizzeria with his wife, Gwen, and picking out a sausage slice.
He is greeted by his team as he exits the pizzeria, which appears to be Justino’s Pizza located at 881 10th Avenue, just around the corner from the CBS Broadcast Center at 524 West 57th Street. What appear to be several supporters can be seen chanting “Let’s go, Coach! Let’s go, Coach!”
The clip was captioned, “Gwen and I celebrated a great night with a slice of pizza. Now let’s go win this thing.” It has been viewed over 700,000 times since it was posted, and received 35,000 likes.
Although Walz labeled the debate a cause for celebration, not everyone feels the same.
An instant poll taken after the debate by CNN found that 51 percent of respondents saw the debate as a win for Vance, as opposed to 49 percent who saw it as a win for Walz. This poll had a margin of error of 5.3 points.
A poll taken prior to the debate was in Walz’ favor, with 54 percent of people believing he would win, suggesting Walz underperformed in some viewers’ eyes.
According to CNN anchors who discussed the debate after it ended, Walz came across as “unprepared.” Former Obama strategist David Axelrod said during a CNN appearance on Tuesday that Walz “ended strong,” however he agreed that Walz’ opening was weak.
Newsweek readers also felt torn about who won the debate. Some readers found Vance to be “truthful, highly confident and extremely professional,” whereas others saw him as “an election denier and a person who only selectively cares about freedom and democracy.”
Similarly, some readers saw Walz as “more experienced with politics and his arguments were solid,” whereas others saw him to be “nervous and [he] fumbled throughout.”
Walz and Vance have been contacted for comment via email outside of working hours.
It is unclear whether this debate will have an impact on the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
Vance has not shared what he did following the debate. However, he has published several clips of himself in the debate discussing immigration, housing, and the cost of living.
