Tim Walz and JD Vance go head-to-head as they try and help get their candidate into the White House. Neither of these two were particularly well known on the national stage before they were thrust into a presidential contest. Now they find themselves at the centre of the US presidential campaign and tonight is a major opportunity to show why they should be next in line for the big chair.
Tim Walz is the Governor of Minnesota and has been using his midwestern charm on the campaign trail to try and bring in undecided voters. JD Vance has long moved away from criticising Donald Trump and will now try and show he can be a useful deputy.
