A VP debate that matters? Vance, Walz will try to win over those few undecided voters

Five weeks before the final day of voting in the U.S. presidential election, Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate represents what will probably be the last face-to-face showdown between the Democratic and Republican tickets for the White House.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are scheduled to confront each other at 6 p.m. Pacific time in a 90-minute showdown hosted by CBS News.
With no more debates planned between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the battle of the No. 2s is the last mass-viewership event on the campaign calendar. The debate is expected to draw tens of millions of viewers.
While experts say that vice presidential debates almost never alter the trajectory of a national election, the debate is expected to be closely watched by partisans on both sides and by the small number of voters still making up their minds.
Polls show that the Democrat, Walz, has a more positive profile with the public. Vance has drawn a disproportionate share of the negative attention.
The strongest rebukes have come for the Republican’s claims that the U.S. is being run by Democrats and “a bunch of childless cat ladies,” and for his insistence that he should be able to “create stories” about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating family pets to support his contention that immigrants are hurting America.

I don’t think Vance will let the guy get away with the same BS Biden laid on Paul.

Every election the Democrat shills in the so-called “news” media say the same kind of things. Do they think people can’t remember four years back?

Oh, you mean when the average family had $29,000 more wealth, paid $2 a gallon for gas, and didn’t have to worry about illegal aliens raping and murdering their children?
Anyone who is “undecided” is not paying attention.
Anyone who supports Harris/Walz is either stupid or mentally ill.
