Sixty-seven million people tuned in to the Sept. 10 presidential debate between Harris and Trump, and now it’s their running mates’ turn to let voters know where they stand on certain issues as the race dwindles down to the final days.
What are the rules of the vice presidential debate?
The ground rules for the vice presidential debate have not publicly been released, but if the Trump- Harris presidential debate is any indication, there may be no studio audience and microphones may be muted. Also, the candidates may not be allowed to have notes on stage and the debate may not start with opening statements.
CBS News will host the 90-minute debate at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday in New York City. The event will be broadcast on the CBS network and livestreamed on platforms where CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+ are available.
Anchors Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan will moderate the debate.
“I’ve done two. It’s too late to do another. I’d love to in many ways but it’s too late. Voting is cast,” Trump told a North Carolina rally crowd Sept. 21. Early voting in some states started as soon as Sept. 20.
Who is JD Vance?
Trump selected Vance, a 40-year-old U.S. senator from Ohio, as his running mate in July ahead of the Republican National Convention. Vance is a Marine veteran.

Vance has also gained recognition for himself through previous comments he made about Democrats being “ childless cat ladies .” He has not backed down from the comments he’s made.
Who is Tim Walz?
Walz, an Army veteran and former schoolteacher, is the current governor of Minnesota. The 60-year-old served in the U.S. House from 2007 to 2019, having won as a Democrat in Minnesota’s Republican-leaning 1st Congressional District.
Supporters have begun calling him “Coach Walz,” a nod to his former role as a school football coach and a strategy to connect with the average American. Walz has embraced the “Midwestern dad” label, presenting himself as an average guy in hopes of attracting more moderate voters who may think Harris is too liberal.

Only leading Harris and Walz is leading is the least combined # of accomplishments in their political career! They are both Frauds! They offer ZERO THAT ametica wants or needs!
