Rules Announced For VP Debate

With just over a month before Election Day, the one and only vice presidential debate is set for Tuesday. Unlike the presidential debate, candidates' microphones will remain on at all times tomorrow. CBS News on Friday announced the debate rules to which the campaigns for Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance agreed. CBS News did say that moderators could turn off the moderators' microphones if necessary. For the presidential debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, the microphone was muted for the candidate who was not responding. But just like that debate, there will be no audience when CBS anchor Norah O'Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan take on moderator duties.
