He faced heavy scrutiny after suggesting Americans without children shouldn't have the same voting rights as those with kids.

"Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of the children," Vance said in 2021 when speaking at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s conference on the Future of American Political Economy.

Then there was the backlash after he famously referred to women without children as “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.”

And, of course, Swifties were less than thrilled when Vance took a dig at Taylor Swift following her endorsement of Kamala Harris for president, saying the pop star is "fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans."

Now, after seeing him in action during this week's vice presidential debate, many Americans are judging Vance on his overall presence. His "energy" and "vibe," if you will. Here's what they're saying:

1.

JD Vance has the energy of the guy they bring out to talk financing when you’re buying a car who only looks at your husband

JD Vance never lost that snotty little half-smile—the expression of a used car salesman who just convinced a potential buyer that the CHECK ENGINE light on the used Toyota he’s trying to get off the lot is a computer glitch.
