About 2024 U.S. Vice Presidential Debate, Vance vs. Walz

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) will take on Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) in the debate, and each will tackle issues such as immigration, the economy, abortion rights, and more. The debate will last for 90 minutes, and like the presidential debate in September, there will be no audience in the room as the two candidates offer competing answers on the biggest issues facing the country.

“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 at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City. The debate will be available to stream on Paramount+ and the CBS News 24/7 streaming channel, which is available on free platforms like Pluto TV.
