INTERNEWSTIMES.COM – The US vice-presidential race will take center stage on Tuesday, October 1st, as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance square off in their first and only televised debate. The 90-minute event, hosted by CBS News, will provide voters with a crucial opportunity to assess the candidates’ positions on key issues.

Walz, the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and Vance, the Republican candidate for vice-president running with former president Donald Trump, will face off in a debate moderated by CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan.
While the debate is expected to be a significant event in the US election cycle, it is unlikely to attract the same level of viewership as the presidential debates. However, it will provide a platform for both candidates to articulate their visions for the country and to engage in direct dialogue with their potential constituents. (Red)
