- “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” moderator and chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan will moderate the debate.
- Both campaigns agreed to a 90-minute debate with two four-minute commercial breaks. Campaign staff are not allowed to interact with the candidates during the breaks. There will be no audience — a measure also implemented during the two previous presidential debates.
- Candidates, who cannot bring pre-written notes or props on stage, will have two minutes to answer a question and two minutes to respond. They will be allowed one minute for rebuttals. At the moderators’ discretion, candidates may get an additional minute to continue a discussion. Unlike the presidential debates, a candidate’s microphone will not be muted when their opponent is speaking, but CBS News reserves the right to turn off the microphones.
I had Lenny make me an alt image to share…
Like the VP Kalama Harris v. Twice Impeached Felon 34 debate; this is likely the only debate that will happen between Vance and Walz.
It’s going to be streamed the same as the other debates; across every platform that exists…
