A DEBATE AMID CHAOS. New York — On the afternoon of the first and only vice presidential debate, Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich posted:
Just today we have:
A dock strike not seen in 40+ years that could cripple the economy
Katrina-level devastation in a number of southern U.S. states
War raging and a stalemate between Russia/Ukraine
Hundreds of missile launches from Iran [to Israel]
The short version is, things look pretty unsettled right now. And that is on top of cost-of-living increases that have made life more difficult for most people and a disastrous influx of millions of illegal crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
It’s the kind of thing, a sense of decline and disorder, that can make it hard for an incumbent president, or vice president, to win reelection. So underlying the debate between former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), will be a feeling that things are spinning out of control. When that happens, voters usually blame the party in power.
