Walz and Vance prepare to introduce themselves on the national stage at Tuesday night debate

Vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance are in New York preparing for their first — and probably last — debate Tuesday evening. The two relatively little-known politicians will introduce themselves to the country and try to avoid any slip ups on the big stage.

MPR News senior politics reporter Dana Ferguson joined host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the stakes of the debate, the arguments the candidates will make and where each candidate could stand to gain ground.
