What to know about the debate
The 90-minute VP debate is taking place just over a month before Election Day, and about three weeks after the presidential candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, faced off in their first debate . Like the presidential debate, there will be no live audience.
While there will be no opening statements from the two vice presidential candidates, each will be allotted two minutes for closing remarks, according to debate rules from CBS News.
While Walz and Vance are scheduled to meet only once on the debate stage, it's unclear whether Harris and Trump will go head-to-head again before the election. The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee accepted an invitation from CNN for a second debate on Oct. 23, but Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, has said it's too late for another to happen.
Walz and Vance have spent the weeks after they were announced as the vice presidential picks for their respective parties on the campaign trail, introducing themselves to voters. Walz is the governor of Minnesota who served more than a decade in the U.S. House. Vance represents Ohio in the U.S. Senate, a post he won in the 2022 midterm elections after rocketing to fame with his 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy."
CBS News will host the only planned vice presidential debate between Vance and Walz on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 9 p.m. ET on CBS and CBS News 24/7. Download the free CBS News app for live coverage, post-debate analysis, comprehensive fact checks and more.
