Dems turn out for VP Debate Watch Party
More than 60 people turned out Oct. 1 for a festive Vice Presidential Debate Watch Party at the Linn County Fair & Expo Center, hosted by Linn County Democrats.
Besides the debate, for which the crowd was clearly in Tim Walz's camp, the evening included a pizza and salad dinner, bingo and raffles for prizes that included a pair of "I'm with her" sneakers and Harris-Walz T-shirts.
From the audience's reaction, Walz's best moment came near the end of the debate when he pressed J.D. Vance with a simple question: "Did he (Donald Trump) lose the 2020 election?" Dodging the question, Vance said, "Tim, I'm focused on the future."
