“Vice Presidential Debate: JD Vance vs. Tim Walz – Everything You Need to Know”

The stage is set for an intense showdown as Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz gear up for the only scheduled vice presidential debate before the November election. Both candidates, relatively new to the national political spotlight, will face off on Tuesday in what promises to be a riveting event.

Walz, the running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, has a long career in politics but was largely unknown outside of Minnesota before joining the Democratic ticket. On the other hand, Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” was elected to office in 2022 and quickly rose to prominence after being selected by former President Donald Trump as his running mate.

The debate, scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, will be moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan. It will take place at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown between the two candidates.

Both campaigns have agreed to a 90-minute debate with strict rules in place, including no audience and limited interaction between campaign staff and candidates during commercial breaks. The candidates will have two minutes to answer questions and one minute for rebuttals, with moderators having the discretion to allow additional time for discussion.

Viewers can catch the debate on CBS broadcast stations and affiliates, as well as stream it on the CBS News app, Paramount+, and other platforms where CBS News 24/7 is available. With tensions running high and the stakes higher than ever, this vice presidential debate is not to be missed.
