JD Vance vs. Tim Walz Highlight: Vance calls “censorship” a real threat and criticizes Harris for industrial-scale repression

JD Vance vs Tim Walz LIVE: The only vice presidential debate in the history of the 2024 US elections comes a month after the heated presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The debate was likely the last of the 2024 presidential campaign and could give it added weight ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

The pair will face off in a 90-minute battle in a televised debate hosted by CBS News in New York. It would be hosted by the network’s Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan.

Vance is reportedly an experienced debater who might enjoy confrontations under the glare of television lights. On the contrary, Walz was able to draw on skills from his 17 years as a public school teacher.
