Politics Takes Center Stage

Good morning! The dockworker strike is underway, so here’s a rundown of consumer items that are most likely to be affected. In today’s big story, what you need to know about tonight’s vice presidential debate, and why it’s worth paying attention to.

Get Ready for a Political Showdown

Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz face off at 9 p.m. ET in an uncharacteristically significant vice presidential debate, as reported by Business Insider's Brent D. Griffiths and John L. Dorman. VP debates aren’t usually appointment television, but this time, it’s different.

  • Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris aren't planning on debating again.
  • This makes the Vance-Walz showdown the last major event of the 2024 campaign.
  • Considering how tight the race is, every moment counts, even with backup candidates.

Additionally, CBS is approaching fact-checking in a new way for the debate.

Why Does This Debate Matter?

Both candidates, not widely known prior to this race, will advocate for themselves, meaning this debate might be a first and only chance for many Americans to hear from them.

Vance's profile is bigger than Walz's thanks to his bestselling memoir.
