The founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management said Republican candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) outperformed Democratic candidate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. I made a series of X posts explaining why I think this.
“J.D. Vance is very smart, careful, unwavering, fair and respectful of Waltz. What's not to like?” Ackman initially responded.
“I feel sorry for myself [Walz]. He seems like a nice guy, but it's too much for him to be the second in line to run the country. It's a little clown-like, but in a good way. He is a kind man who sometimes has his face peeled off in negotiations.” Second post about X reading.
“This is not the person you want to be making important decisions for all Americans.”
Waltz and Vance stood on the same stage. The first and only vice presidential debate During this campaign, the two men clashed several times over key concerns of voters.
The candidates exchanged views and sometimes agreed on plans to address issues such as the escalating wars in the Middle East, immigration, abortion laws and the economic records of their respective airline tickets. During the 90-minute debate, Mr. Vance and Mr. Walz clashed several times, and the moderator turned off Vance's microphone.
Ackman said Tuesday night's debate was a “clear lookout” for presidential front-runners Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump and their “ability to find and hire talent.” I wrote it.
“A leader's quality can be judged by the talent and intelligence of his direct reports. Strong leaders hire team members who are smarter than themselves. Weak leaders hire weak direct reports. We don’t want to lose out to the people we hire.” Mr. Ackman's third X post read:.
“You have to give [Trump] Credit for choosing JD Vance, even though Vance was initially critical of him. ”
