During the campaign, Mr. Vance and Mr. Trump made many controversial statements, such as accusing immigrants of eating pets, showing that the upcoming debate will be extremely fierce.
Mr. Vance and Mr. Walz were chosen by the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates to appeal to voters in Midwestern battleground states, where a few thousand votes can decide the winner of the White House. Both are military veterans. Mr. Vance is best known for his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” while Mr. Walz prides himself on the down-to-earth persona of a former teacher and football coach. But their similarities end there. Like Mr. Trump, Mr. Vance has a history of making controversial statements, such as dismissing Democrats as “childless aunts with cats” and accusing Haitian immigrants in Ohio of eating cats and dogs. Mr. Vance’s goal is to overcome polls that show him to be the least popular vice presidential candidate in U.S. history, after a series of his past comments about women and abortion were re-examined. As a result, experts say the Republican vice presidential candidate will have to be extremely cautious in this debate. Meanwhile, Mr. Walz will have to show more of himself, because American voters still know too little about him. Having served in the US Marine Corps in Iraq, Mr. Vance will certainly attack Mr. Valz for leaving the National Guard before his unit was deployed to Iraq. This year's televised debates have been extremely dramatic, leading to President Joe Biden dropping out of the race after a poor performance against his opponent Trump in June. Criticized for being outclassed after the live debate with Ms. Harris on September 10, Mr. Trump said he would comment live on the confrontation between "the wonderful JD Vance" and the "extremely inept" Mr. Walz. Both candidates are actively preparing. Mr. Walz also enlisted the support of Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to fight his Republican opponent. The debate will be even more intense as both candidates' microphones will be on at all times, allowing them to interrupt their opponents at any time. However, there will be no live audience watching the debate, which will be moderated by CBS 's Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan.Tienphong.vn
