Social media marveled at JD Vance’s “pretty eyes” as Google searches for eyeliner exploded during his vice presidential debate against Tim Walz.

The high-stakes showdown between Republican Sen. JD Vance and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz comes with just 35 days until the election and polls show it could be one of the closest races in decades.

However, some on X who saw Vance for the first time seemed mesmerized by the Ohio senator’s eyes.

Even Democrats seemed taken with Vance, with one writing, “I don’t know much about Vance, but his ice blue eyes charm me,” before clarifying that she didn’t vote for him.

Another added: “Definitely a girly moment… but JD Vance has such pretty eyes!!”

Roosevelt Institute Director Elizabeth Panciotti released the graphic showing how much Google searches for “eyeliner” increased during the debate.

However, out of nowhere, disgraced former congressman George Santos tried to quell any controversy over the candidate’s wearing of makeup.

He wrote, “Vance does NOT use eyeliner.” I met him in person before he became a senator and I can confirm that he has long eyelashes and they cast a shadow on his waterline when studios are full of lights…Grow up , People!”

Tim Walz and JD Vance met for their first and possibly only vice presidential debate on Tuesday. It could have been the last debate for both campaigns to make their case before the election.

The CBS News-moderated debate in New York gave Vance, a freshman Republican senator from Ohio, and Walz, a two-term Democratic governor of Minnesota, the opportunity to introduce themselves, make the case for their running mate and launch an attack against the opposing ticket.

Pointing to the day’s crises as reasons for voters to choose their respective candidates for president, each man opened their vice presidential debate by addressing growing fears of a regional war in the Middle East and a natural disaster affecting the southeastern United States has devastated.

Asked whether he would support a preemptive strike against Iran for firing missiles at Israel, Walz quickly responded that Donald Trump was too dangerous for the country and the world in an unstable time.

“The key here is that stable leadership is important,” said Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota.

“And the world saw on that debate stage a few weeks ago that a nearly 80-year-old Donald Trump talking to crowds is not what we need in this moment.”

Vance argued in his response that Trump was an intimidating figure whose presence on the international stage was its own deterrent.

“Donald Trump has actually provided stability,” he said.

Both men found unity during Hurricane Helene, which devastated several states and caused massive flooding, particularly in North Carolina.

Walz mentioned the storm’s devastating impact and spoke about working with governors across the country. He said they would not allow politics to get in the way of cooperation.

Vance said, “I’m sure Governor Walz will join me in saying our sympathies are with these innocent people.”

Walz accused Vance and Trump of denigrating legal immigrants in Vance’s home state.

He noted that Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine had to send in additional law enforcement to ensure the safety of the city’s schools after Vance tweeted and Trump amplified false claims about Haitians eating pets.

In a largely civil encounter, Republican Vance and Democrat Vance delved deeper into the details of policy than presidential candidates Trump and Kamala Harris did in their September clash.

Walz faced some awkward questions, particularly when he had to admit that he had “misrepresented” whether he had been in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in China.
