Many viewers who tuned into the televised vice-presidential debate were convinced the Republican candidate, 40, was sporting eyeliner to enhance his looks.
While inside the studio Vance and Walz kept things polite during the debate, social media was buzzing with unfounded gossip.
One viewer posted on X, formerly Twitter: “Can’t stop noticing JD Vance’s eyeliner.”
Another added: “I need eyeliner tips from JD Vance.”
While a third wrote: “I think JD Vance doubled down on the eyeliner in order to throw Walz off his game tonight.”
However, any speculation was crushed by one of Vance’s former Republican colleague George Santos who also took to X.
He wrote: “Vance does NOT use eyeliner.
“I’ve met him in person before he was a senator and I can confirm he has long eyelashes and they cast a shadow on his waterline when is (sic) studios full of lights.
“Grow up people!”
Others also rushed to point out Vance is just blessed with luscious ashes.
One X user wrote: “He actually has super dark eyelashes top and bottom, so no, he doesn’t wear makeup, but since he says so many crazy things, they make him look like a racist care bear.”
Another added: “People making fun of Vance’s eyelashes:
“Some of us are just CURSED with natural, long, luscious, dramatic black eyelashes. We can’t change the fact that our eyes are naturally beautiful.”
With the polls showing Vice President Kamala Harris and ex-President Donald Trump neck-and-neck the stakes for the clash between the Vice-Presidential hopefuls was high.
Both needed a strong performance to stake their party’s claim to the White House.
Both Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, and Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, aimed high in their attacks on the opposition.
Walz though said he befriended a “school shooter” and mixed up Iran and Israel in a nervy display during Tuesday night’s debate.
Walz was answering a question from the CBS debate moderators about gun violence in schools when he seemed to stumble over his words.
“I sat in that office with those Sandy Hook parents,” he said. “I’ve become friends with school shooters. I’ve seen it.”
Walz appeared nervous from the off as the debate began.
It comes as…
- JD Vance and Tim Walz locked horns in first VP debate ahead of election
- Walz was branded ‘Biden Jr.’ during his rambling answers to some of the debate questions
- Donald Trump slammed the CBS hosts for their ‘bias’ after they cut the candidates’ mics during Vance’s answer
- Vance ‘has chance to become Maga movement leader but must avoid being cocky,’ expert warns
- Expert warns Walz has ‘more holes than swiss cheese’ in wake of Vance debate
- Closet Trump voters are still ‘not coming clean,’ ex-Biden advisor says
- Battleground states remain too close to call
He appeared to confuse Iran and Israel twice in his first answer, at one point referring to “Israel and its proxies,” and instead launched personal attacks on Trump and Vance.
He praised what he said would be Kamala Harris’ “steady leadership,” drawing a contrast with the presidential debate when a “nearly 80-year-old Trump talking about crowd sizes.”
For his part, Vance said Trump had brought peace to the Middle East, and was the only president to have no major war during his presidency.
Donald Trump Jr. was full of praise for Vance’s performance, telling CNN he had delivered a “masterclass.”
He told the network’s Kaitlan Collins: “I think he literally won every issue across the board.
“I think he was actually very comfortable in so many of the issues that Republicans tend to fail.”
Donald Jr., who urged his father to pick Vance as his running mate, went on to say that his father is ruling out a debate because “I don’t think he can have a chance at getting a fair debate.”
The Harris campaign put out a more somber statement, saying that Walz would “uphold the constitution,” while JD Vance had “refused to commit to certifying the results of a free and fair election.”
He also once again ruled out a second head-to-head debate with Harris, claiming that “Lyin’ Kamala” only wanted one “because they lost so badly tonight.”
Vance went on Fox News following the debate saying that he had come to talk about the “issues” and to “remind the American public that Donald Trump is not the caricature that Kamala Harris and the media have made him out to be.”
In contrast, Walz and his wife Gwen left the debate spin room shortly afterward and were seen grabbing a slice from a New York pizza shop.
