Vance and Democrat Tim Walz sparked numerous reactions online, but it wasn’t just the candidates who captured the internet's attention. The debate moderators, Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell, quickly became the unexpected stars of the event, leading to a flood of memes across social media platforms.
