Hot Microphones and No Audience: Here Are the Rules for the V.P. Debate

Published On Sep 27, 2024, 1:45 PM

CBS News has announced the format and rules for the upcoming vice presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz. The debate will feature each candidate having their microphone on throughout the event, allowing for more direct interaction compared to previous debates. It will not have a studio audience, and candidates will be standing rather than seated. There will be no opening statements, but each candidate will have time for questions, rebuttals, and closing statements. This debate is significant as it reflects changes made to encourage a more dynamic discussion among candidates.

The debate format change, allowing both candidates to speak freely, may lead to a more engaging and perhaps contentious interaction, which could energize their respective bases. Depending on how well Vance performs, it could bolster his candidacy in the eyes of investors looking at companies that may benefit from Republican policies or those aligned with Trump's agenda.
