In keeping with Puck’s newest grand tradition, in the small hours following last night’s very Midwestern showdown between veep contenders J.D. Vance and Tim Walz, Puck partners John Heilemann, Dylan Byers, and Peter Hamby huddled up to break down the evening’s most pertinent plot points: how the moderators actually fared, Vance’s fluent and slippery outing, Walz’s second-half comeback, and much, much more.

The following conversation has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
