Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg represented Vance as Walz prepared for the debate. Walz has been preparing with his longtime aides, Biden White House alumni and members of the Harris-Walz campaign team. The Minnesota governor is expected to take aim at Vance’s conservative stance on reproductive health and LGBTQ rights.
