VP Candidates Vance and Walz Debate Tuesday Night

The vice-presidential debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance will take place on Tuesday night at 9 p.m. Eastern, broadcast on CBS and other major networks. This is the only scheduled debate for the vice-presidential candidates this election cycle. Both candidates bring distinct backgrounds: Walz, a former high school teacher and National Guard member, is known for his political experience in Minnesota, while Vance, a Yale-educated Marine and author of 'Hillbilly Elegy,' represents Trump's MAGA agenda. Key issues likely to be discussed include Vance's controversial remarks about 'childless cat ladies' and Walz's ties to China. The debate rules prohibit the candidates from taking props or written notes, and CBS reserves the right to mute microphones if necessary. This debate could be critical as it may be the last opportunity for voters to see a direct contrast between the two tickets ahead of Election Day.
