The vice-presidential debate between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance, hosted by CBS News, is set to begin at 9pm ET tonight. This debate is significant as it is the only scheduled vice-presidential debate before the November election and the last major opportunity for both campaigns to reach voters simultaneously. Polls suggest both candidates have mixed favorability, with Walz slightly more favored than Vance, who has faced criticism over recent comments and ties to controversial statements by Trump. Prediction markets heavily favor Walz to win the debate, with high expectations on topics like immigration and abortion being discussed. The debate will be moderated by Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan and will be broadcasted live across multiple platforms.
