I'll be watching, unless it turns out to be an incoherent shouting match.

Trump won’t be there, so it should be okay.

Polls show Vance-Walz debate could change the course of the election

Exclusive: New poll shows the choice of VP has a ‘significant impact’ on two-thirds of Democrats, and 75 per cent of Americans will be tuning in to watch today’s debate between Vance and Walz.

They couldn't get a stronger debater? She lost a considerable amount for Trump already.

Do people usually watch the VP debate?

Hard to make excuses for a man as deranged as Trump.
