Important events

My colleague Rachel L entrance took a look at what we know so far about Vance and Walz's debate style. She writes:

Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, and Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, have honed their public speaking skills — and their sharp remarks against each other — in recent months in television appearances and at events around the country.

Their experience in electoral debates has not reached the scale or prominence associated with a presidential campaign, but both have faced opponents in public debates in previous elections.

And given the tensions in the presidential campaign and the poor performance of the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, more people are likely to watch the vice presidential debate than in previous cycles.

While vice presidential debates don't typically tip the scales, they could be important in a close race – and they profile less prominent politicians who are likely to remain on the national stage for many years to come.

Tim Walz and JD Vance face off in the vice president debate

Good morning, US Politics readers.

It's the day of the vice presidential debate and Tim Waltz And JD Vance are preparing for a duel in New York City.

The debate begins at 9 p.m. ET and, like the Harris-Trump debate, will take place in a studio without an audience. Unlike the main presidential debate, candidates' microphones will not be muted when it is not their turn. However, presenters can mute the microphones throughout the event.

Walz used it to practice before Tuesday's vice presidential debate Pete ButtigiegSecretary of Transportation and frequent television news interviewee, as Vance's representative – both Buttigieg and Vance are Ivy Leaguers from the Midwest and about the same age.

Vance has been preparing for the debate with Minnesota's Republican senator Tom Emmer as a replacement for roller. On Monday, Emmer gave some insight into how the debate practice went, telling reporters of Walz's performance: “Honestly, it's difficult because he's really good on the debate stage.”

Republicans are trying to portray Walz, the folksy governor of Minnesota who has emerged as the most popular figure in the presidential campaign, as an evil, inhumane figure. Emmer, who unsuccessfully ran for governor of Minnesota in 2010, said: “(Walz) will stand there and lie out of conviction, and he has these little mannerisms where he'll just say, 'Hey, I'm the nice guy.' “But he's not beautiful at all.”
