How to Watch the Vice President’s Debate Today
Somehow, only a week and a day has passed since the first presidential debate of the 2020 election season. If you’ve watched it, you may not have recovered from the chaos yet. Well, it’s time to regroup, because tonight is the first and only debate in a vice presidential election . Here’s what to expect from Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, and how to watch it live, cable, or the Internet.
What to expect from a VP debate
After last week’s debate, creating a “what to expect” section seems a bit pointless, but let’s get started. Vice President Mike Pence (Republican nominee for vice president) will debate Senator Kamala Harris (Democratic nominee for vice president) tonight at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, starting at 9:00 p.m. ET time. This time, the moderator will be Susan Page, USA Today’s Washington Bureau Chief.
The debate will last 90 minutes and will consist of nine 10-minute segments without commercial breaks. At the moment, the list of topics that will be covered in the debate has not yet been published, although it is difficult to imagine that COVID-19 will not rise.
Pence and Harris will sit 12 feet apart with a plexiglass barrier between them and the other between the two candidates and Page. While the Cleveland Clinic, which hosted the most recent debate and provided health and safety protocols for personal campaign activities, endorses the measure, the Pence campaign opposes it. “If Senator Harris wants to surround himself with a fortress, go for it,” Katie Miller, a spokeswoman for Pence, told Politico .
