JD Vance and Tim Walz approached the debate with remarkable restraint.

There were no car crash moments, undignified spats or vicious name-calling.

The only moment of real heat came during a debate over migrants in Springfield , Ohio .

Mr Vance managed to come across as warm and human, not 'weird' But Mr Walz came unstuck in front of the cameras, stuttering over his words.

JD Vance was able to fight back without falling into the trap of appearing petulant.

He called out the selective fact-checking of the CBS moderator, before launching his own version against his opponent.

Walz struggled to keep up with the young senator, ignoring his direct provocations in favour of railing against Donald Trump .
