NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. — The first and only scheduled debate between vice presidential candidates Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will air Tuesday on ABC.
Coverage on ABC10 starts at 5 p.m., and the 90-minute debate will begin at 6 p.m. The candidates face off in New York City.
Local ABC10 news coverage — regularly scheduled for 5 p.m. — will air at 4:30 p.m.
The VP debate is being moderated by CBS anchors Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan.
Debate structure
CBS said Friday it will be up to the candidates to fact-check each other during the debate, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
The candidates’ microphones will stay on while their opponent is speaking, unlike the two presidential debates, however, CBS reportedly said it reserves the right to shut off a hot mic when necessary.
Each candidate will have two minutes for a closing statement. Vance won a virtual coin toss and will speak last.
There will be no audience.
