Vance debate answer on immigration crisis polarizes voters

 Ohio Sen. JD Vance’s argument that the U.S. needed to "stop the bleeding" at the border during Tuesday’s debate elicited a mixed response from voters.

"Before we talk about deportations, we have to stop the bleeding," Vance argued during Tuesday’s debate. "We have a historic immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started and said that she wanted to undo all of Donald Trump’s border policies."

According to Fox News debate dials, which measure how Republican, Democrat, and independent voters are responding to particular answers by candidates during the debate, the response by Vance received mixed responses.

While Republican views of Vance’s answers had an immediate positive response, Democratic viewers of the debate went in an opposite direction, the dials showed. Independents, meanwhile, hovered around 50% approval with Vance’s answer.

Voters began to see Vance’s response in a more positive light when he touched on former President Donald Trump’s border policies, arguing that the next administration should return to handling the border similar to how Trump did during his four years in office.
