CBS News Vice Presidential Debate Is On, Will Take Place Amid Escalating Middle East Crisis


Tim Walz and JD Vance will debate for the first time.

Trump and his allies have attacked ABC and its moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, for calling out some of the former president’s claims during the debate last month, including his false allegation that Haitian migrants were stealing pets and eating cats and dogs. CBS News has indicated to The New York Times that the moderators will leave fact checking to the candidates, although there seems to be some room for exceptions in egregious cases. Trump has not agreed to a second presidential debate with Kamala Harris, telling supporters last month that a proposed Oct. 23 CNN event would be “too late” in the election cycle.
