ELECTION 2024 Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio are meeting tonight for their first and only scheduled vice presidential debate.
Walz, who is Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, and Vance, who is on the Republican ticket with former President Donald Trump, will make the case for their respective candidates five weeks before Election Day. They have been crisscrossing the country to introduce themselves to voters, paying special attention to the handful of battleground states that will determine the winner. Here's how to watch the debate: The 90-minute debate will start at 9 p.
m. EDT tonight. It's being moderated by "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan of CBS' "Face the Nation.
" CBS News is airing on will air the debate live on its broadcast network and will livestream it on all platforms where CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+ are available. It's also being made available for simulcast, and other networks will likely air it. The vice presidential debate is taking place in New York City.
Often the scene of fundraising events for candidates in both parties, New York has been considered a reliably Democratic state in the general election. But Trump, a native New Yorker, has insisted he has a chance to put it in the Republican column this year, despite losing the state in his two earlier bids for the presidency. He has held events in the South Bronx and on Long Island.
Harris, meanwhile, has announced she's skipping this year.
