VP Debate Live: US VP debate pits hillbilly energy against 'Minnesota nice'

US vice presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz will face off Tuesday in a debate that promises to be a feisty battle to win over voters in middle America, who could decide the cliffhanger 2024 election.

The Republican Ohio senator and the Democratic Minnesota governor make for a study in contrasts and have already traded a series of bad-tempered insults in the bitter race for the White House.

The combative Vance, 40, shares former president Donald Trump's gift for courting controversy, whether by smearing Democrats as "childless cat ladies," spreading bogus stories about pet-eating migrants or questioning his rival's military record.

Walz, 60, is a folksy Midwestern former teacher and high school football coach who was chosen at lightning speed by Vice President Kamala Harris after his attacks on Vance and Trump as "weird" went viral.

VP Debate Live: Why Vance vs Tim Walz is a high-stakes battle?

Since his selection as Donald Trump's running mate, JD Vance has been at the center of media attention, largely due to controversial past statements that have provided ammunition for his opponents. Despite the backlash, Vance has remained steadfast in his position, refusing to back down from his previous remarks.

Vance called into question the military record of his opponent, Tim Walz, accusing him of "stolen valor." Vance claimed that Walz had falsely stated he carried weapons during war, despite never having served in combat. This accusation has further intensified the already heated debate between the two candidates.

With Donald Trump's decision not to participate in any further debates with Kamala Harris, the upcoming debate between Vance and Walz has taken on even greater significance. It represents the final opportunity for the Trump campaign to address and rectify any political missteps, many of which have been attributed to Vance's controversial statements. The stakes are high, and the outcome of this debate could have a substantial impact on the trajectory of the campaign.

Vice Presidential Debate Live: What is the rule on muting the mics this time?

During the presidential debate, the microphones of candidates not speaking were silenced to prevent interruptions. However, in the upcoming vice presidential debate, CBS News has decided against muting the microphones of the participants.

Despite this decision, the network has stated that it "reserves the right to mute the candidates' microphones" if deemed necessary. This approach allows for a more natural flow of conversation while still maintaining the ability to control any potential disruptions.
