Polling by the Daily Mail just hours after the vice presidential debate between GOP candidate JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz has revealed a clear victor.
"Donald Trump's running mate J.D. Vance can leave New York as the victor after his one and only debate with vice presidential rival Tim Walz, according to DailyMail.com's exclusive snap poll," the major publication documented.
The two tangled over "abortion, immigration, gun violence and the Middle East" and "bigged up their bosses."
"But it was Vance who left the best impression with viewers, after a strong start against a nervy opponent and despite dodging a question on if Trump lost the 2020 election," the report said.
In fact, Walz refused to answer the debate's first question, whether he would support a first strike situation by Israel against Iran, after the terrorist-support regime there launched missiles at Israel earlier in the day.
Vance immediately responded that it would be up to Israel to make that decision.
The polling of 801 likely voters found 50% saying Vance won, to only 43% picking Walz.
The rest were unsure.
James Johnson, of J.L. Partners and a DailyMail.com pollster, said it's clear Vance won.
And the report cited Walz's "major blunders."
"The first was when he was tripped up by a question about his claims he was in Hong Kong teaching during the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests in China in 1989," the report explained. "Local media reports from the time put him in his home state of Nebraska."
Eventually he conceded that he "misspoke" in making the claim.
Then he said, later, "I've become friends with school shooters."
The report said he was unclear what he meant by that.
The Mail reporting also included that, "Democratic pundits were left scratching their heads in disbelief Tuesday night after the at time stumbling performance of Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, MInnesota Gov. Tim Walz."
He mixed up words, "appeared anxious" and refused to answer some questions about his own misstatements.
Symone Sanders Townsend, an MSNBC host and former campaign manager for Bernie Sanders. said on social media, "My thoughts about this debate can all be summed up with: Gov. Walz is not prosecuting the case rather its a nicefest. If you agree with Vance on so much then why should we vote for you?"
And Asha Rangappa, a CNN analyst, said, of Walz. "The policy wonking is not really cutting it."
ABC's Linsey Davis, one of the biased moderators for the presidential debate a few weeks ago, said, "It kind of reminded me of the June 27th debate when Kamala Harris that night said of Joe Biden it was a 'slow start, but a 'strong finish.' And that's how it felt that Tim Walz kind of did tonight. You know, to use Tim Walz's own words, I mean, a lot about this debate tonight was weird. There were uncomfortable, cringey moments."

It's certainly no secret that America's tech industry has been biased against President Donald Trump and in favor of his opponents, first Hillary Clinton, then Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris.
Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg even has confessed that he gave in to pressure from leftists in the government to skew his part of the industry.
Now there is a possibility that Google, one of the major players in the election interference industry, could be held accountable, if Trump is elected again.
A report from the Washington Stand explains Google's "days of election interference may be drawing to a close."
It's because Trump has pledged to prosecute Google "for manipulating search results to benefit Democratic political candidates, should he retake the White House," the report said.
Trump online, explained, "It has been determined that Google has illegally used a system of only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J. Trump, some made up for this purpose while, at the same time, only revealing good stories about Comrade Kamala Harris. This is an ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, and hopefully the Justice Department will criminally prosecute them for this blatant Interference of Elections."
He said if that doesn't happen, "and subject to the Laws of our Country, I will request their prosecution, at the maximum levels, when I win the Election, and become President of the United States!"
The Media Research Center, among others, has documented that Google has been manipulating and altering search results to promote Vice President Kamala Harris and hurt Trump.
"Researchers used Google to search for both 'Donald Trump Presidential Race 2024' and 'Kamala Harris Presidential Race 2024' and found that Google listed Harris's campaign website higher in search results than Trump's campaign website. Google also promoted news websites — such as CNN, NBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, and The Economist — which have a left-wing bias and provided negative coverage of Trump's campaign and policies and favorable coverage of Harris's campaign and policies.," the report explained.
Tim Graham, of the MRC's Newsbusters division, explained in the report, "This is not neutral, there are snotty headlines and opinion pieces. Writers highlight negatives for both campaigns but suggest Harris is not an ideologue, and that Trump is very divisive. Apparently, Democrats can say the worst things about Trump and his supporters and it's never viewed as divisive. It's merely implied that it's accurate."
In fact, the MRC has reported that Google "interfered" in elections more than 40 times since 2008.
Google "worked hard" for Barack Obama's campaigns in 2008 and 2012, and Clinton's in 2016, the report said.
The corporate giant even has listed "Nazism" as a "related search" to Republican organizations.
And the report pointed out, "Google also blocked and blacklisted news sources it deemed too conservative, including MRC's NewsBusters, the Daily Caller, The Christian Post, and Catholic News Agency."
In this year's contest, "Google has worked with the Harris campaign to attach campaign ads to news results, altering headlines to make it appear that major news outlets like the Associated Press, USA Today, The Guardian, The Independent, Time Magazine, NPR, PBS, CNN, CBS News, and others are endorsing or promoting Harris's presidential campaign," the report said.
One victim of the campaign, WDAY Radio in North Dakota, is reviewing legal action over the falsehoods.
It's not Google's only headache. Just weeks ago a federal court determined that Google was operating as an illegal monopoly and was controlling the search engine and search engine advertising markets.

A statement from Israel Defense Forces states that Hassan Nasrallah, the chieftain of the Hezbollah terrorists based in Lebanon, is dead after a precision strike by Israeli forces.
Sources reported that, actually, "dozens" of Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated in the strike on Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut. And statements weren't in agreement, as Hezbollah officials claimed Nasrallah remained uninjured
Reports said it is a "turning point for the Middle East" that will open the door "to peace and normalization."
A report from NBC said Israel confirmed it struck Hezbollah's headquarters in southern Beirut, after there were sightings of the smoke from a huge bomb blast in that area.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had just defended his country's actions in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon in an address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah operatives are continuing to fire missiles into Israel, triggering sirens in the northern city of Haifa.
The report confirmed Israeli fighter jets have struck at targets deep in Lebanon, including locations from which missiles are launched at Israel.
Also, Israeli locations were on elevated alert should there be a response from the terrorists.

The Mayor Clinic has innovated some of the most helpful diagnoses and treatments in American health care.
It has built a reputation that is based on a long list of accomplishments, including treating presidents.
But for many, that's now gone, vaporized in the time it took for a posting on its blog to appear, claiming that pregnancy is "often viewed as an exclusively female phenomenon."
Twitchy monitors social media postings, and reports on them, and noted, "Woke ideology is infiltrating health care. And it's going to do untold damage to patients, including get people killed."
It continued, "The Left loves to tell the Right to 'follow the science'. Right up until the science is inconvenient for their political agenda, that is. Take the Mayo Clinic, for example. It was once one of the most highly-regarded health care providers in the U.S., if not the world. How the mighty have fallen."
It's clear that for some, trust in the clinic was gone:
And there were those who had the nerve actually to cite science:
Yet another diagnosed the clinic with a "bad case of DEI cancer."
The organization declined to respond to a WND request for comment.

The U.S. defense sector could see a rise in costs because China has implemented new export restrictions on an important mineral used in military equipment.
According to Fox News, six antimony-related products, including antimony oxide, antimony ore and antimony metal, are subject to export limits by China as of Sunday. Antimony is used in ammunition, infrared missiles, nuclear weapons, batteries, photovoltaic equipment, night vision goggles, and as a flame-retardant component in machine bearings.
China produced almost half of the world's supply of antimony in 2023, while the U.S. imported approximately 63% of its antimony metal and ore from China – consuming around 22,000 tons. China is also the leading import source for 25 essential minerals – tungsten, germanium, magnesium, barite, antimony, most rare earths, indium, graphite, gallium, and arsenic.
According to Gary Evans, co-CEO and board member of US Antimony Corporation, the U.S. is in a position to fill the gap with its own supply of antimony for the time being, but some full supplies may still be years from being available.
"There is a company that the government has helped fund called Perpetua Resources, which has received over $50 million [in] grants. There is also a gold mine in Idaho that has a lot of antimony associated with it. So that supply [will] be available, but it may be [several] years away," Evans said.
Evans noted the U.S. is planning to secure its antimony supply chain by exploring new opportunities, and revisiting existing mines that were closed decades ago.
"We have a mine in Thompson Falls, Montana, which is near adjacent to our smelter. It was shut down in 1983. We're combing our records to determine whether it makes sense to open that mine back up. At the request of the Department of Defense, we have a laundry list of ideas, which includes new mining opportunities we have in Canada and Alaska, as well as opening [of] the Thompson Falls mine," Evans said.
U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., a member of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, said the U.S. needs to build a strong mining labor force if it hopes to compete with China.
"Even though we haven't expressed as much interest in mining in the United States as we have in years past, I think that has to change," Wittman said.
U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, R-Fla., reiterated Wittman's comments, and stated the mining workforce is going to shrink by half by 2029.
"More than half the current domestic mining workforce will be retired or replaced by 2029. That number stands in stark contrast to a total of just 327 degrees awarded in 2020 in mining and mineral engineering, and a 39% net drop in graduations in the U.S. since 2016," Castor said.
The restrictions on antimony come after the Biden-Harris administration increased tariffs on China in recent months, ranging from 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% on solar cells, and 25% on aluminum and steel products.
According to a statement from the White House, the tariffs were a countermeasure to China's unfair trade practices.
"China's unfair trade practices concerning technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation are threatening American businesses and workers. China is also flooding global markets with artificially low-priced exports. In response to China's unfair trade practices and to counteract the resulting harms, today, President Biden is directing his Trade Representative to increase tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on $18 billion of imports from China to protect American workers and businesses."
However, China has called the tariffs imposed by the U.S. unfair, and has the backing of the World Trade Organization who has determined the Section 301 tariffs violate WTO rules.
Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian called the increase on tariffs wrong, and urged the U.S. to "correct its mistakes," after the Office of the United States Trade Representative allegedly delayed its determinations for Section 301 tariffs on Chinese products.
"China has lodged solemn representations to the US side on Section 301 tariffs for many times. The World Trade Organization (WTO) has long ruled that the U.S. Section 301 tariffs violate WTO rules, and it is even more wrong for the U.S. to increase tariffs on China. The Office of the USTR previously sought public comments regarding its tariffs review results, and most opinions were against imposing tariffs or applying for an expansion of tariff exemption, which demonstrates that the practice of the U.S. is not well-received. We urge the U.S. to correct its mistakes, actively respond to public calls, and remove all the tariffs on China," He Yongqian said.

The Army's long-standing training aimed at discouraging personnel from discriminating against people based on their race and sex is, in the age of wokism during the Biden-Harris administration, now morphing into a new and bizarre anti-discrimination paradigm reflecting an extreme leftist – and fundamentally anti-Christian – ideology.
Justin Williamson, a career Army officer who emphasized that his views do not reflect those of the Department of Defense or Department or the Army, spoke frankly to WorldNetDaily about this new development. Because of concern over possible reprisals, Williamson agreed to an interview using a pseudonym.
"The Army conducts a mandatory annual briefing on racism and sexual harassment," he told WND. Having attended many such briefings over his long military service, Williamson has enforced these traditional policies in occasional instances of racism or sexual harassment.
Up until the current era, Williamson said, "they were all very standard and straightforward, sharing the commonly accepted view that no one should be treated disrespectfully because of the color of their skin, for example. … If a soldier did something demeaning or offensive, he knew it would not be tolerated." For Williamson, "this is the correct atmosphere that's worth enforcing, one that treats people decently regardless of the color of their skin."
But during the Biden-Harris administration, the Army's Equal Opportunity (EO) and Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) training has taken a disturbing turn, he said, characterizing it as "extremely partisan."
For example, Williamson disclosed, "In the last SHARP briefing that I attended, an Army NCO (non-commissioned officer) said that if a person who is transgender or homosexual hears somebody object from a religious basis to their lifestyle, it would be considered a [sexual harassment] violation."
The NCO also said, "You'll hear in a lot of places in the U.S., especially the south, that people will say their religion prohibits [transgenderism and homosexuality]." Shockingly, if a soldier expresses this traditional biblical morality publicly, Williamson said, "they'll be in violation of Army policy and against Army values."
For such a violation, he said, a service member "could get a poor evaluation and reprimand at the very least." Considering the subjective nature of the evaluation, he argued that "you could be considered a bad character – a deathblow to a career."
Corroborating Williamson's disturbing analysis is former U.S. Army public affairs officer Dr. Chase Spears, who sees these recent developments as part of a deliberate effort to ideologically influence U.S. troops through training.
"All military training theoretically exists to enhance fighting readiness," he told WND. "Training is supposed to be ideologically neutral."
"How your rifle shoots or tank runs are matters entirely set apart from your politics," Spears continued. "Activists target these supposed 'apolitical' venues to weave progressive ideologies into military culture, [and] when you call them on it, they hide behind the notion that their partisan briefings are merely part of readiness training."
Spears noted that the Army's use of SHARP and EO trainings for partisan purposes may be eclipsed by the service's highly controversial new policy on extremism.
"Under the rule of law," he said, "you have a right to face your accuser and face due process." However, under the Army's new extremism policy, he said, "commanders are pushed to presume guilt based on a single accusation."
What counts for extremism under these new policies?
Spears suggested, "According to a speech given by President and Commander in Chief Joe Biden in Philadelphia on Sept. 1, 2022, anyone who holds to a traditional sexual ethic, or who has a moral objection to abortion, or who simply voted for Donald Trump fits the category of an extremist."
"If you fit any of those criteria and are in the military today," Spears argued, "you know to keep your head down and mouth shut if you want to preserve your career."
For both Spears and Williamson, the Army's efforts amount to "a steady purge of Christian conservatives from America's military ranks."

Social media on Wednesday delivered a truth bomb to Linsey Davis, one of the ABC employees who acted as "moderator" during the presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.
Openly siding with Harris, Davis "corrected" Trump when he objected to the Harris abortion ideology that apparently includes leaving babies to die after birth.
Davis claimed that doesn't happen.
But social media responded immediately with confirmation from a prominent Democrat that that's exactly what would happen.
And it even cited Harris' vice presidential pick, Tim Walz, under whose governorship in Minnesota that process was formalized – and then concealed.
The dispute involves possibly life-saving treatment for infants who survive botched abortions.
Trump said, "You can look at the governor of West Virginia, the previous governor of West Virginia — not the current governor, who is doing an excellent job, but the governor before — he said the baby will be born and we will decide what to do with the baby. In other words, we'll execute it. And that's why I did that, because that predominates, because they're radical. The Democrats are radical. … Her vice presidential pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. He also says execution after birth is execution — no longer abortion because the baby is born OK, and that's not OK with me."
An NBC fact-checker claimed that statement was wrong.
But the reality is former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, stated, "If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired."
NBC claimed it "debunked" Northam's comments because he was talking about infants with deformities. But it admitted in such scenarios, Northam promised, "The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."
Further, former White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany posted a link to a report confirming that under Walz, in Minnesota, "Under Gov. Tim Walz, babies born alive in botched abortions were left to die."
Those statistics actually no longer are available, the report confirmed, because Walz then eliminated the requirements to report such situations.
That report explained,
"As Democrats and media outlets accuse former President Donald Trump of dramatizing the Democratic abortion agenda, data from the Minnesota Department of Health shows that at least eight babies who survived abortions in the state were left to die.
"Under a 2015 Minnesota law, the state formerly was required to report whether abortions resulted in the live birth of a baby, what actions were taken to preserve the life of that baby, and whether the baby survived."Those reporting requirements exposed that between Jan. 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021, physicians performed five abortions that resulted in a baby's live birth.
"No measures were taken to help the first baby, who reportedly had 'fetal anomalies' that resulted 'in death shortly after delivery.' Two of the babies were given 'comfort care measures' as they died. No measures were taken to "preserve life" of the last two babies, who were previable.
"Previous data from the Minnesota Department of Health reveals that physicians have been leaving babies to die after failed abortions for years. In 2020, no babies were reported born alive through botched abortions, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.
"But between Jan. 1, 2019, and Dec. 31, 2019, three abortions resulted in born-alive babies who were then allowed to die. The first baby reportedly had 'fetal anomalies' but also had 'residual cardiac activity' for two minutes, yet no efforts were taken to preserve that baby's life, and "the infant did not survive.
"The second baby died while 'comfort care measures' were provided. The third baby was previable and did not receive any attempts to preserve his or her life. It does not appear that any of the babies born alive in botched abortions survived.
"Due to efforts by the state's Democratic governor, who served from 2019 until the present, Minnesota will no longer even keep track of born-alive babies."
A commentary at Twitchy called it the, "Mother of ALL truth bombs about abortion."
It explained, "All Kamala did during the entire debate was get nasty and claim anything and everything that made her look bad didn't happen. And she did so knowing ABC would do nothing to hold her accountable for it."
And there was additional confirmation from legislative testimony of allowing abortion up to the moment of birth.

Multitudes have questioned how the assassination attempt by the now-dead Thomas Matthew Crooks against President Trump at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, could have happened.
Congress continues to review it, and commentators have insisted the public does not yet know all the facts.
Among the unanswered is how Crooks was able to get onto the roof of a building within the sight line of Trump with a rifle on July 13. He had been spotted by rally goers, yet he was not stopped. Other questions remain today circling around the Secret Service, which in blunt terms failed that day.
The near-catastrophe already has cost the Secret Service chief her job.
But now Melania Trump, whose participation in her husband's 2024 campaigning so far has been limited, is insisting on answers.
A report at the Daily Mail says Melania has released a video raising questions about the role of law enforcement in the events that day.
She calls the attack on her husband a "horrible, distressing experience."
"Now, the silence around it is heavy," she said. "I can't help but wonder why didn't law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech.
"There is definitely more to this story. And we need to uncover the truth."
The Mail report said she was hinting "at a conspiracy" over the events.
"The video ends with a shot promoting her forthcoming memoir 'Melania,' which will be released in October," the report said.
Republicans in Congress already have assembled a task force to investigate the circumstances that developed on that day in July, and the Secret Service "investigation" remains ongoing.
Stunningly, the gunman took shots at Trump from about 150 yards away, from the top of a roof that was near the outdoor rally.
It was in the seconds after the shots that Trump created what has become an iconic photographic image, when he stood up, raised his fist in the air and charged the crowd with "Fight, fight, fight."

It's well documented that Kamala Harris can change her policy positions just about as fast as she can speak.
In fact, she's earned herself the nickname "Kamala Chameleon" with her abrupt position reversals.
She's already flip-flopped on a fracking ban, on border security, on a single payer health care, and confiscation of "assault" weapons.
Now on social media there's three minutes of Harris "using different phony accents."
The report noted, "Despite spending her childhood in Berkley, California and Montreal, Canada, Kamala uses what she thinks is a Detroit accent, what she thinks a southern accent in Georgia, a French accent, and more!"
A commentary at Twitchy described her as the "Fakest faker who every faked a FAKE!"
The report explained "when a politician changes their accent over and over and over …" that's "mockable."
Her position flipflops earlier have made headlines for their stunning rapidity.
JD Vance, GOP nominee President Donald Trump's pick for vice president, explained the new moniker.
He was asked about Trump's comments about Harris "all of a sudden" being black. Her heritage is Jamaican and Indian but recently she appeared at a rally event with a pronounced southern drawl.
"Look all he said that is that Kamala Harris is a chameleon. She goes to Georgia two days ago. She was raised in Canada. She puts on a fake southern accent. She is everything to everybody and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she's in front of. I think it's totally reasonable for the president to call that out. That's all he did," Vance said.
"She's running as a tough on crime prosecutor even though she implemented an open border policy. She's saying she wants to support the police yet she wanted to defund the police just three years ago. It's totally reasonable to call out the fact that she pretends to be somebody different, depending on the audience she's talking to."
A report at Just the News said Trump's approach to Harris now "has been to cast her as a chameleon who adjusts her professed background, beliefs, and persona to match relevant audiences and whom the voters cannot trust to truthfully represent herself or her campaign."
"The contrast could not be more stark," Trump said at a recent rally. "On the one hand, you have a radical left puppet candidate who is fake, fake, fake, and on the other hand, You have a president who will fight, fight for America."

A leading data expert has issued a "bone-chilling" warning after reviewing the numbers and causes of death across America since the COVID-19 pandemic and the mRNA shots – now proven to have many and dangerous side effects – hit Americans.
A report at Slay News explains it is John Beaudoin, a renowned statistician, who found an explosive surge in deaths from fatal kidney conditions following the advent of mRNA treatments.
The report said, "Beaudoin calculated that there have been 155,000 excess deaths caused by acute kidney injury (AKI) since late 2020 in the United States alone."
He looked at government numbers for a variety of factors, including state reports on excess deaths.
"As Beaudoin explains in a new interview, excess death is the figure above the expected baseline, not the total, meaning an extra 155k Americans died from AKI," the report said.
While the death toll had been documented to have had no significant changes for years, suddenly they surged, 200% above normal, for 2021. And they were up 300% in 2022.
Then, in 2023, they continued to surge "alarmingly."
Beaudoin explained, in the report, his "investigations prove that only COVID mRNA shots, and possibly COVID-19 hospital protocols, could be responsible for the staggering excess deaths from kidney failure," the report said.
"There are more life years lost to acute renal failure alone than COVID, than polio, than smallpox … than anything in the past 100 years in the United States, except for World War II," he said.
The report noted fellow data expert Ed Dowd confirmed the trend.
"Using data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) database, Dowd estimates 153K excess deaths nationwide from acute kidney injury alone over the last few years."
Previous studies have suggested deaths "from all causes" actually are up significantly among those who were given the mRNA treatment.
