Vance and Walz to face off in US vice presidential debate: What to know
Al Jazeera
Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz is going head-to-head against his Republican counterpart JD Vance in New York.
Tim Walz and JD Vance are facing off this week in the first – and likely only – United States vice-presidential debate ahead of November’s election.
Walz and Vance will take the debate stage in New York on Tuesday evening as the race gears up for the final stretch before Election Day.
Walz, the governor of Minnesota, was chosen as Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’s running-mate in August.
Vance – a senator from Ohio – was named as Republican candidate Donald Trump’s vice-presidential nominee as the Republican Party gathered for its national convention in July.
Since then, both vice-presidential candidates have crisscrossed the country, holding rallies and town hall meetings as they try to appeal to voters.
