"Tim Walls and JD Vance are preparing for their first and likely only debate of the 2024 election and this may be the last debate between any of the candidates this year before November when voters head to the polls here are three things we're watching for in the vice presidential debate first how will this debate shape the election and the issues surrounding it will JD Vance be more focused on an issue such as immigration where Trump was diver into a tangent about the size of the crowds at his rallies for Tim Walls will he make a more forceful argument on issues like the economy and inflation where kamla Harris instead pivoted to attacking Trump and didn't really answer questions about what her own plans would be walls and his wife have talked about how they've used fertility treatments will abortion be a key message for the Minnesota Governor to deliver on the stage and then there's foreign policy Trump notably wouldn't say whether it was in the US's best interest for Ukraine to defeat Russ in their war in Eastern Europe what will JD Vance who's represented the more dovish wing of the Republican Party have to say on stage for both of these candidates the debate threatens to amplify some concerns that voters already have about them or could help them move past those concerns for JD Vance it's representing some of the more extreme elements of the Republican party for walls Republicans have attacked him for allegedly embellishing his military service how each candidate is likely to approach this debate I go back to their convention speeches both were heavy on biography Vance talked about his upbringing a lot of which he outlined in his Memoir hillbilly elogy for walls his speech was like a halftime locker room speech delivered by a football coach which of course walls was in a previous career there are limits though to how much the two vice presidential candidates actually represent the ticket we've seen Donald Trump contradict things that his running mate has said and JD Vance has acknowledged that some times he gets out in front of the principal the same thing might happen with Tim Walls who's known for winging it in public appearances so how much will they Hue to what their campaign stances and their campaign platforms actually are especially in a debate where they're being pushed on sometimes uncomfortable topics that's something I'm watching closely notably vice presidential debates have had their fair share of zingers over the years Senator you're Know Jack Kennedy me just say first of all that I almost resent Vice President Bush your patronizing attitude that you have to teach me about foreign policy with all due respect that's a bunch of malarkey and why is that so because not a single thing he said is accurate ultimately in most cases voters choose their candidate based on the top of the ticket not who's running for vice president and Lloyd Benson and Michael dukus didn't win their election nor did Walder Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro the Biden debate did matter and argu in 2008 Sarah Palin's uneven performance helped reinforce voter perceptions of John McCain's choice for his running mate in that election so these vice presidential debates can matter but probably only a little bit avoiding that moment and turning the page and the focus onto the two presidential candidates is probably their main goal [Music]"
