WATCH LIVE: 2024 Vice-Presidential Debate With JD Vance vs Tim Walz
#election2024 #donaldtrump #jdvance
Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance are set to meet Tuesday night in the only vice presidential debate of the 2024 election - and in what might be the last time the two campaigns square off onstage.
The matchup between Walz, the 60-year-old Minnesota governor, and Vance, the 40-year-old Ohio senator, is being hosted by CBS News and taking place in New York, without a live audience.
The debate coincides with huge news stories unfolding at home and abroad - including Hurricane Helene recovery efforts across the southeastern United States
Vice presidential nominees traditionally play the role for the top of their tickets - in this case, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump.
But Walz and Vance have also hammered each other for months. Walz earned the Democratic vice presidential nod in part because of his branding of the GOP ticket as “weird” in television interviews that served as semi-auditions for the role. Vance, a military veteran, has questioned Walz’s service record.
The debate is being moderated by CBS’ Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan
The Middle America roots at the heart of both Walz’s and Vance’s well-cultivated political identities will be on display Tuesday night as the two men vying to be a heartbeat away from the presidency introduce their biographies to the largest audience of voters they’ve likely had to date.
Walz, a two-term governor and former congressman, was first elected to the US House in 2006. But expect him to lean into the roles he held before entering politics: high school teacher and assistant football coach.
Vance, meanwhile, is a Marine veteran and the author of a best-selling memoir about the his Appalachian family values and the socioeconomic problems of his hometown. He’s likely to highlight how he came around on the former president in recent years, without making much mention of his past as a political commentator who was a strident Trump critic.
Both candidates’ biographical pitches are born of an effort to showcase their authenticity - a precious political commodity, particularly in a race in which undecided voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin could determine the outcome.
Voters’ decisions are overwhelmingly influenced by the tops of the party tickets, and Walz and Vance are likely to devote much of their time attacking Trump and Harris respectively. But they could also spend time emphasizing parts of their own biographies and attempting to undercut their rivals’ - all in an effort to establish their credibility with voters.
