Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the GOP and Democratic nominees for Vice President of the United States respectively, will debate on Tuesday evening in New York in what might be the last major event with both major U.S. political parties involved before the Nov. 5 election just over a month away.
The debate, which will be moderated by CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, will begin at 9:00 p.m. ET, and most major television networks will carry it live.
Since former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris–the GOP and Democratic presidential nominees respectively–have not agreed on terms for a second debate after they faced off back on September 10, this event might be the last word on a debate stage this year from the two campaigns. Some in the establishment, and particularly the Harris campaign, including Harris herself, have been desperately trying to goad Trump into accepting a second debate with her, but given the fact that Trump feels good about where he’s at in the campaign it seems unlikely he would give in to the Democrat overtures.
So on stage on Tuesday, it’s up to Vance and Walz to each do their best to represent their tickets to voters. The debate comes hours after the Islamic Republic of Iran launched missiles into Israel, forcing the entire civilian population into shelters, and as tensions in the Middle East keep rising after Israel wiped out the longtime leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as the ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza. It also comes as the Russian war in Ukraine continues to drain American tax dollars and crime rates hit historic highs here at home in the United States as thousands of migrant murderers and tens of thousands of migrant criminals are — per Department of Homeland Security statistics — in the United States.
What’s more, most importantly to voters in this election, the economy continues to struggle with Harris in command of the nation alongside current but outgoing President Joe Biden–the incumbent commander-in-chief whom Harris and other Democrats pushed aside when he imploded at the debate with Trump back in late June. Now Longshoremen union members are striking, thanks to Harris’s and Biden’s failures to help negotiate a deal, severely threatening the already weak economy, and Harris’s heartlessness in her and Biden’s complete failure to properly respond to the impact of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, Georgia, and elsewhere further damages the nation.
Given the absolute failures of ABC News’s David Muir and Linsey Davis as moderators of the debate between Trump and Harris earlier this fall, expectations for O’Donnell and Brennan are extremely low. There are reports that CBS might even throw a QR code on screen during the debate to direct viewers to a website where the network’s reporters will be live “fact-checking” statements from the debate, but knowing the establishment media these are almost certainly going to be weighted against Vance and in favor of Walz.
As for the actual vice presidential candidates, Walz’s deep history of lying about his own background–from claiming he served in combat when he absolutely did not to claiming he was in Asia during the Tiananmen Square massacre in China to more lies about himself–would be front and center in any just debate. So would Walz’s extremely radical record on policy which runs counter to his “folksy demeanor,” as Harris aides and establishment media regularly call it, given Walz’s history of backing amnesty for illegal aliens and other very radical and extreme ideas.
What’s more, Vance’s powerful story as someone who pulled himself up from poverty into the upper echelons of American society so quickly should also come through on stage on Tuesday. Vance, who is known for his quick ability to handle himself in debates and interviews, is likely to try to cut Walz down to size while also using the massive national audience to bring the heat directly to Harris past Walz.
