VP debate rules
The candidates will stand behind lecterns, without opening statements or notes. Microphones will not be muted, but CBS reserves the right to do so if necessary. Candidates can only have a pen, a pad of paper, and a bottle of water on stage.
Fact-checking will be left up to the candidates themselves, marking a departure from previous debates this year. In past debates, moderators have limited follow-up questions and fact-checking, but this time, it’s up to the candidates to keep each other honest.
Don’t miss this historic vice presidential debate, where the fate of the nation hangs in the balance. Tune in and witness a clash of ideologies and personalities that will shape the course of the 2024 election!
