Vance-Walz debate live updates: What time is the vice presidential debate tonight?

CBS News moderators cut Vance and Walz’s microphones halfway through the vice presidential debate when both candidates began to interrupt one another to dispute the facts of Haitian immigrants’ legal status in Springfield, Ohio.

Harris heads to Wisconsin, Walz to campaign to Pennsylvania. After the debate, Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will head to the swing states.

On Wednesday, fresh off his debate with JD Vance, Walz will campaign in Pennsylvania with Senator John Fetterman. Specifically, they will head to central Pennsylvania. Specifically, they will campaign in York.

Harris for her campaign will campaign in Fox Valley, Wisconsin, another crucial swing state.

Vance and Trump have both repeated claims that this past year has had the highest number of border crossings.

Vance says Trump’s mass deportation plan would start with criminals – but didn’t give a specific explanation on how that would work.

The Republican vice presidential candidate repeated familiar claims that Trump makes during his rallies, that Kamala Harris is responsible for allowing migrants through the border who are bringing crime and opioids.

Vance did not give a specific answer about whether that deportation plan will separate families but said drug smugglers are using children as drug mules – something Walz said “is not true.”

Moderators asked Vance about climate change as it relates to the recent devastating Hurricane Helene, which he acknowledged but also dismissed.

Vance expressed empathy for victims of the recent powerful storm but claimed that carbon emissions are not the primary contributor to climate change.

“A lot of people are justifiably worried about all these crazy weather patterns,” Vance said. He said a solution was to increase manufacturing and energy production in the United States.

Vance claimed he and Trump support clean air and water.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz began with a slightly shaky voice and “uhs” in between answering about whether he would support Israel in launching a preemptive strike.

Walz ultimately said it was “fundamental” for the U.S. to support Israel in getting hostages back.

He then immediately pivoted to attacking Trump.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance have taken to the debate stage in New York City.

The vice presidential candidates greeted one another with a handshake.

Trump–Vance supporters convened outside the CBS Broadcast building in New York City hours before the vice presidential debate on Tuesday evening to show their support for Vance.

Groups of Republicans showed up decked out in Trump–Vance merchandise and U.S. flag decor to cheer for Vance.

Andrew Giuliani, the son of former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, greeted some supporters outside of the CBS Broadcast Cente. He told The Independent he was confident Vance would perform well because he was well-prepared.

Trump’s advice to his running mate ahead of the presidential debate is simple: “Have fun”

“I said, JD, have fun,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday night.
