CBS Veep Debate with Tim Walz, JD Vance Set for October 1 in NYC: Will it Matter?

Share

CBS has confirmed there will be a vice presidential debate on October 1st.

Democratic candidate Gov Tim Walz agreed to it yesterday. JD Vance seemed to acknowledge it last while on Fox News. Vance said he only wanted a debate with an audience.

CBS says Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan will be the moderators.

Walz — who’s sharp and articulate — should mop the floor with Vance, who’s a buffoon on his best day. But will it matter? Will it change minds? .

Vance agreeing to two female moderators is certainly unusual. Vance has made a fool of himself for a few weeks now, attacking cat ladies and insisting that women have no rights, really.

October 1st will be a busy day as Melania Trump’s book about her “extraordinary life” will be published that morning.
