Tim Walz and JD Vance’s 2024 VP debate is Tuesday. Here’s what to know.

By Caitlin Yilek

Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — both relative newcomers to the national political spotlight — face off Tuesday in the only scheduled vice presidential debate before the November election.

The debate is being held three weeks after former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris had their only scheduled debate.

Walz, who is Harris’ running mate, has had a long career in politics but was largely unknown to voters outside of Minnesota before he joined the Democratic ticket.

Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” was first elected to office in 2022, less than two years before being selected by Trump to be his running mate.

Here’s what to know about the debate.

What time will the VP debate start and end?

The debate starts at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday. It will run 90 minutes — the same length as the two presidential debates — and end at 10:30 p.m. ET.

Who is moderating the VP debate?

“CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” moderator and chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan will moderate the debate.

Where is the VP debate?

The debate is taking place at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City.

Trump was a lifelong resident of New York City, a Democratic stronghold, before changing his voter registration and primary residence in 2019 to Palm Beach, Florida, where his Mar-a-Lago club is located.
