Former host of the NBC show “The Biggest Loser,” businesswoman and best selling author Jillian Michaels has changed her mind on Republican vice presidential candidate and Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

The fitness guru, who said she used to identify with the Democrat Party, said during an appearance on Fox News that the senator’s debate performance has her seeing him in a new way.

“I thought he was arrogant, smug, sexist. I was really disappointed with him as the VP pick. And it did in fact change. I thought he did an excellent job of humanizing himself. I love that each and every time they asked him a question, he actually answered the question. That he was unbelievably competent and bridging the points he wanted to make and he was civil. I have to give that to both of them, they were both civil and that was really a breath of fresh air,” she said.

Pollster Frank Luntz had some tragic news for the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz when he appeared on CNN and spoke to host Sara Sidner.

He led a focus group during the debate between the Minnesota governor and his counterpart, Republican vice presidential candidate and Ohio Sen. JD Vance and the results were music to the ears of Republicans.

His focus group, by a score of 12 – 2, said that the Republican candidate bested his Democrat rival.

“Our participants had a lot to say. Number one, they loved both candidates. In fact, if they could, they would have reversed the tickets and put Vance and Walz on top and the other two on the bottom. Number two is it gave them faith in democracy, the idea that people could sit down, disagree, and do so civilly. But in terms of Vance, they were shocked that the Vance that they’ve seen up to this point was not the J.D. Vance of last night, measured, thoughtful, emotional, willing to agree with his opponents, not divisive,” the pollster said.

“The language that they used to describe him tells me that he has been misused on the campaign so far, that he would be far better communicating Donald Trump’s agenda and vision and purpose then the attack dog kind of strategy that they’ve been using up to now. I have to tell you, only twice in my career have I had such an overwhelming movement towards one candidate. That’s how significant yesterday was, not that they were critical about Governor Walz, but they were so shocked at how emotive Senator Vance was,” said Luntz.

“He got better as the debate went on. They thought that his first 30 minutes, that he was stumbling, that he struggled, as I am speaking to you right now. And they felt that he wasn’t really as engaged and he was much more defensive. His best moment of the night was in challenging Senator Vance on what happened in the events of January 6th, and most specifically, whether or not Trump won or lost the 2020 election,” the pollster said.

“That said, he did not connect as well because he was much less specific. And they were particularly critical that he was not answering the questions the moderators were posing. And in a vice presidential debate, they expect more from the candidates than to try to talk to questions,” Luntz added.
