The CBS News vice presidential debate will be the only time Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz get to face off ahead of the 2024 election. Here’s what to expect.
Vice presidential candidates Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) will face off in a debate Tuesday for the 2024 election cycle.
This will be the only time the candidates meet on stage and simultaneously present their policy positions to the broader American public, which may be less familiar with them than with their partners on the presidential ticket.
The two hold similar roles in their respective campaigns: to appeal to working-class voters in the „Blue Wall“ states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin this fall.
Here’s what you need to know about what is historically the only debate between the candidates for vice president.
