ABC News' coverage of the vice presidential debate begins Tuesday at 8 p.m. ETHarris and Trump continue campaigning as Walz and Vance prepare for VP debate
Walz, the 60-year-old Minnesota governor, and Vance, a 40-year-old U.S. senator from Ohio, have previewed potential approaches for weeks. Walz, before Harris selected him, was the Democrat who coined "weird" as a go-to pejorative for the Republican ticket. Vance assails the governor's progressive record as proof Democrats are too far left for voters.
Going into the debate, a new AP-NORC poll suggests Walz is better liked than Vance, giving the Republican perhaps a steeper challenge. "The only advice that matters is to protect the top of the ticket," Kaine insisted, recalling the 2000 matchup between Republican Dick Cheney and Democrat Joe Lieberman. "Cheney kept attacking Gore, and Lieberman, instead of defending Gore, tried to make himself likable. ... You can't leave attacks unanswered."Democrats believe abortion rights and reproductive health care will motivate their core voters and sway swing voters.
Vance said in August that Trump would veto a national ban if it cleared Congress. A couple of weeks later, during Trump's debate with Harris, the former president demurred on an answer, saying, "I didn't discuss it with JD." The Harris campaign has amplified audio of Vance saying as a Senate candidate that he would like to see abortion outlawed nationwide.
Trump's choice was a play to further cement the GOP ticket as the choice for middle America. The author of the "Hillbilly Elegy" memoir who grew up in small-town Ohio, Vance has roots to match his economic populism in ways the billionaire Trump does not.
