NBC’s „Meet the Press“ host Kristen Welker said Democrats texted her during the vice presidential debate „panicked“ over how „likable“ Sen. JD Vance came across.
NBC News‘ Kristen Welker revealed that Democrats were worried about how „likable“ Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, came across during Tuesday night’s CBS News Vice Presidential Debate.
Welker appeared on NBC’s „Today“ on Wednesday and confessed Democrats had texted her mid-debate „panicked“ over how Vance’s performance could turn the tide on his low favorability ratings.
„Sen. JD Vance clearly knew his challenge was to deal with the likability factor. The fact that in our poll, he’s the second most disliked running mate in history. So I was getting texts from Democrats panicked, quite frankly, who were saying, ‘Wow, he’s really moderating himself on these issues. He’s the most likable he’s ever been'“, the „Meet the Press“ host said.
Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, faced off against Democratic vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov.
