Opinion: In Walz vs. Vance, We Might Have a VP Debate That Actually Matters
Getty ImagesIt’s the cool thing to say that a vice presidential debate doesn’t matter in the sense that it has never changed the outcome of an election, and thus the course of history. But in an election cycle that is like none other, where the polls barely budge and the race is razor-tight, what happens on the debate stage Tuesday night could be consequential.It has the makings of a Saturday Night Live skit: When a governor and a senator meet to trade barbs, and one has called the other “weird,” and they’re both vets, having volunteered to serve their country, yet one accuses the other of exaggerating his record, calling it “stolen valor,” a serious charge in the military.If you’ve read this far, you know which is which, and one of them will head to the White House to serve as vice president. What they say and how they conduct themselves in Tuesday evening’s debate could help propel the ticket they’re on—or pose a speed bump in the presidential race.Read more at The Daily Beast.
