Social media marveled at JD Vance’s ‘pretty eyes’ as Google searches for eyeliner exploded during his VP debate against Tim Walz.
The high-stakes showdown between GOP Sen. J.D. Vance and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz comes with just 35 days left until the election and with polls showing it could be one of the closest races in decades.
However, some on X getting a first look at Vance seemed entranced by the Ohio Senator’s eyes.
Even Democrats seemed taken with Vance, one writing: ‘I don’t know much about Vance, but I’m entranced by his icy blue eyes,’ before clarifying she wasn’t voting for him.
Another added: ‘Definitely having a girly moment….but JD Vance has such pretty eyes!!’

Roosevelt Institute director Elizabeth Panciotti posted the graphic showing how much Google searches for ‘eyeliner’ had increased during the debate.’
Out of nowhere, however, disgraced former Congressman George Santos tried to tamp down any scuttlebutt about the nominee wearing makeup.
He wrote: ‘Vance does NOT use eye liner. 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 studios full of lights… Grow up people!’
Tim Walz and JD Vance met for their first and possibly only vice presidential debate on Tuesday in what could have been the last debate for both campaigns to argue their case before the election.
The debate in New York hosted by CBS News gave Vance, a Republican freshman senator from Ohio, and Walz, a two-term Democratic governor of Minnesota, the chance to introduce themselves, make the case for their running mates, and go on the attack against the opposing ticket.
Each man pointed to the crises of the day as reasons for voters to choose their respective running mates for president, opening their vice presidential debate by addressing the growing fears of a regional war in the Middle East and a natural disaster that has ravaged the southeastern US.
Walz, answering a question on whether he would support a pre-emptive strike on Iran as it has launched missiles into Israel, quickly pivoted to painting Donald Trump as too dangerous for the country and the world in an unstable moment.

‘What’s fundamental here is that steady leadership is going to matter,’ said Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota.
‘And the world saw it on that debate stage a few weeks ago, a nearly 80-year-old Donald Trump talking about crowd sizes is not what we need in this moment.’
Vance, in his reply, argued that Trump is an intimidating figure whose presence on the international stage is its own deterrent.
‘Donald Trump actually delivered stability,’ he said.
Both men found unity on Hurricane Helene, which has devastated several states and caused massive flooding in North Carolina in particular.
Walz mentioned the storm’s devastation and talked about working with governors across the country, saying they do not let politics get in the way of collaborating.
Vance said: ‘I’m sure governor Walz joins me in saying our hearts go out to those innocent people.’
Walz accused Vance and Trump of villainizing legal immigrants in Vance’s home state.

He pointed to the fact that Republican Ohio governor Mike DeWine had to send in extra law enforcement to provide security to the city’s schools after Vance tweeted about and Trump amplified false claims about Haitians eating pets.
In a largely polite encounter, Republican Vance and Democrat Vance dug deeper into the details of policy than presidential candidates Trump and Kamala Harris did during their clash in September.
Walz faced some awkward questions, particularly when he was forced to admit he ‘misspoke’ about whether he had been in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in China.
