Dr. Christopher Lawrence, professor of political science at MGA, is quoted in this article about October 1's vice-presidential debate in Montréal's Le Devoir daily newspaper.
"'Tim Walz could come into this debate with an advantage over J.D. Vance,' summarizes Christopher Lawrence, professor of political science at Middle Georgia State University, joined in Macon in an interview.
"'Democrats appear to have been more effective in portraying Vance as a 'weird' candidate and pointing out his inconsistencies. The attacks made by the Republicans on Tim Walz, [notably on exaggerations about his military past and his activities in China], had less resonance with the general public.'"
