He described the \u2063debate\u2062 as\u2064 a good\u2063 one, emphasizing the importance of contrasting perspectives \u200dand the issue of democracy.

Body language expert Carole Lieberman noted \u200dthat Vance&#8217;s\u2064 demeanor conveyed stability, while Walz appeared restless and\u200c uncomfortable.
