No opening statements, no audience, and no fact-checking: Rules of the vice presidential debate

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) will face off in the lone vice presidential debate on Tuesday evening, and while many of the rules will be the same as the two presidential debates, there will be some key differences.

The 90-minute debate, hosted by CBS, will be held at the network’s studios in New York City and will likely be the final debate of the 2024 cycle for either the presidential or vice presidential candidates. Here are the rules for the debate between Vance and Walz.
