Vice President Debate Live Updates: Follow as JD Vance and Tim Walz Face Off in New York

Tonight is the only debate between the vice presidential candidates: the Democratic governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, and the Republican senator of Ohio, JD Vance.

The two men will face off at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York.

The debate will be moderated by CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan.

The conversation could get colorful since it was Vance who first claimed that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating residents’ pets.

Former President Donald Trump produced the most viral moment during last month’s debate in Philadelphia against Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris when he brought up the Springfield mascot conspiracy theory.

Former President Donald Trump isn’t ready to grab the popcorn for the vice presidential debate just yet. He answered questions about Israel and Ukraine after speaking for nearly an hour in Milwaukee on Tuesday night.

He previously spoke for more than an hour in Waunakee.

He said Iran’s attack on Israel was caused by a “disrespect” toward the United States and claimed that if he were still in office, Iran would have established economic ties with Israel. “I think everyone, including Iran, would have been in the Abraham Accords,” Trump said.

In a surprising moment at the Democratic National Convention in August, sixteen former members of the Mankato West High School football team took the stage in honor of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

After all, Vice President Kamala Harris told the roaring crowd that he was her “coach.”

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar went even further, declaring, “In Minnesota, we trusted a coach who turned an 0-27 team into a state champion.”

Americans watching the game might have been left with the clear impression that Walz was the man behind the underdog team’s triumph.

In fact, the head coach of the all-conquering team known as the ‘Scarlets’ was a man named Rick Sutton.

Walz, a social studies teacher by day, was simply one of several assistant coaches under Sutton, working primarily with defensive players.

For his part, Sutton has expressed no ill will about Walz getting the credit on the national stage. But it also left no doubt about who was really in charge.

“Tim was really great at selling his point of view and then going in a different direction,” Sutton said in August. “But at some point, someone has to make that decision, and that’s going to be the head coach.”

Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz will meet Tuesday in their only vice presidential debate of the 2024 election, and they both have something to prove: that they’re not completely weird.

Walz may have used the term first to dismiss the entire Republican slate, but a JL Partners/DailyMail.com voter poll shows he has work to do, too.

When 1,000 likely voters were asked earlier this month who was the stranger of the two candidates, about 40 percent chose Senator Vance, 40.

More than a third, 35 percent, nominated Walz, the 60-year-old governor of Minnesota.

But in an election that will go down to the wire, decided by the slimmest of margins, there are signs that everything is on the line when the two running mates take the stage in New York on Tuesday night.
