Debate viewers identified many things they didn’t like about the Vice Presidential nominees, but some particularly were concerned about JD Vance‘s eyes.
The Vice Presidential hopeful is known for his professional appearance, but his bright blue eyes stood out on his face. One viewer on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted an old photo of Miley Cyrus, drawing comparisons to the pop star. In the photo, which is frequently shared among fans, Miley gives the camera a vapid look with her heavily-lined eyes seeming to pop in color.
Currently, jokesters on social media are teasing those with blue eyes, noting that they are “staring into our souls.” This sentiment was only reiterated as viewers continued to dogpile on the senator’s appearance.
Given Miley’s heavy makeup, some are wondering if JD was taking pointers, slathering on eyeliner himself. “I just wanna know what eyeliner Vance uses. He’s weird as hell but my eyes are a similar color and I wanna make em look that good,” wrote one person. Another offered up a potential different makeup product, saying: “I know we talk a lot about the eyeliner but Vance’s nose contour goes hard.”

One viewer gave a suggestion for the next debate question. They said: “Hey Nora, can you ask Vance what eyeliner he uses? I’m on the market for something that will make my eyes pop.”
The makeup allegations only grew when JD turned his head toward Tim Walz, which gave a different angle. “JD Vance side-eyeing the camera to show off his eyeliner- we get it booboo you love your baby blues- maybe answer a question clearly instead,” wrote one viewer.
The 2024 Vice Presidential debate between Tim and JD went down on Tuesday at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City. With just a month left to go until the November presidential election, the heat is on for the Ohio senator Vance and Minnesota Governor Walz.
Walz is current VP/ presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ running mate for the Democratic party, while Vance is Donald Trump’s companion for the Republican party ticket.
CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan moderated the event tonight. The 90-minute debate had no audience and candidates were not notified of the topics in advance.
