The high stakes & low blows of vice presidential debates

On Tuesday, the Democratic and Republican nominees for vice president will face each other in their first and only debate. Historian Kate Andersen Brower says that, even though Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance both hail from the heartland, viewers should not expect "Midwestern Nice" to play out between the two. CBS News chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa looks at the history of VP debates.

I hope these guys both keep it classy. It should be a battle of witt - NOT a battle between twitts.

“I’ve served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.”
-Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) to Senator Dan Quayle (R-IN) in their 1988 VP Debate.

There's a reason why Tim Walz has been hiding from every question since being chosen as VP. This is going to be embarrassing for him tomorrow.

CBS refuses to fact check during the debate. You can do better CBS!

The Kennedy line will forever be enshrined as the best comeback in the history of Vice Presidential debates

Tim Walz looks and acts like he has a degree in grievance studies.

After living the Waltz affect in Minnesota I wouldn’t want the whole country to live I also seen the job Kamala has not done and know that’s not for Americans as well.

[jackiepitts]

I hope CBS takes the high road on this one.

[Seekthetruth]

It will be three Democrats against one Republican.

Tampon tim will probably run away like he did when he had to deploy

CBS dodged Walz's veteran service.
