U.S. Election: Vice-presidential Debate may Attract Unusual Attention Next Week

Running mates of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump will be clashing head-on in a vice-presidential debate set next week.

Though vice-presidential debate is not taken too seriously, the recent poll surveys and Trump’s decision of “no more debate with Harris”, may attract good viewership of the debate when Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz collide.

As the September 10 debate got Harris better of Trump, the onus to maintain the pace of the electoral edge will be on Harris’s vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz.  Vance, who has been an author, and has authored the best-selling memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," is very likely to be an aggressive attacker in the debate. Vance, a first time U.S. Senator from Ohio, has the ability to catch the attention of the audience by coining catchy phrases like “childless cat ladies”, much like his presidential candidate Trump himself. Walz, on the other hand, has been the governor of Minnesota, is likely to be more on a defensive position.
