Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.
Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.
Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.
Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.
Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole “immigrants eating cats and dogs” thing.
Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.
Expect Walz to roll out “Weird!” at least once.
CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

Edit Impressive how a debate can go when one participant doesn’t have mental health issues! Thanks for coming everybody!
I feel like there’s a history of these VP debates being pretentiously “more civil” than the main event, because the stakes are lower, etc. So there was that, here, in vance and walz being so nice and agreeing with each other.
But this shit was boring crazy. Vance just lied and was unable to hold Walz to account.
I absolutely do not agree with Vance, but he did get Walz on that abortion bill clarification. Walz couldn’t clarify because it’s a very specific detail, but I don’t think the average voter is going to see it that way. You can claim that it was unfair for Vance to do so, but for a political debate it was a solid jab. I really think productive rights voters are gonna lead this election.
