On Tuesday night, get ready for a political showdown as Ohio Sen. JD Vance 🧑‍💼 and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz 🌾 take the stage in the only scheduled vice presidential debate before the November election 🗳️. Both relatively new to the national spotlight, they’re about to engage in a 90-minute verbal sparring match that may or may not leave us with fresh memes and a couple of viral moments 📱.

A Tale of Two VP Candidates:

Tim Walz:
Minnesota’s least-known export, Walz is no stranger to politics, but outside his home state, people might have mistaken him for “that other guy in a clown suit” until he joined Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket 🤔. He’s got experience, but let’s be honest, his real test might just be convincing everyone that he’s not running for governor again☃️.

JD Vance:
Author of *Hillbilly Elegy* 📚 and recent addition to the U.S. Senate, JD Vance made the leap from literary darling to Trump’s chosen running mate faster than you can say, “career pivot” 🔄. He’s known for pulling no punches, so expect him to come in swinging 🥊 and maybe throw in a spicy quote or two 🌶️.

Debate Basics (or: When to Pop Your Popcorn 🍿):

When’s This Happening?
Mark your calendars 🗓️: 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday night. The debate will run for 90 minutes, wrapping up by 10:30 p.m. ⏰, just in time to hit Twitter and join the online frenzy 🐦.

Moderators with the Tough Jobs:
Norah O'Donnell 📰 and Margaret Brennan 🎙️ will be steering the ship 🚢 as they try to keep the candidates in line. Their job? Asking tough questions while dodging honest answers. It’s basically like being a being a monkey in a room full of bananas, but with cameras rolling 📺.

Where’s the Showdown?
The CBS Broadcast Center in New York City 🏙️, Trump’s old stomping grounds before he switched his primary residence to sunny Palm Beach 🌴. Trump has even floated the idea that he could win New York this year… despite losing it by over 20 points in 2020. If nothing else, his confidence is as big as the Empire State Building 🗽.

The Rules (Yes, There Are Rules 📜):

Duration & Breaks:
Expect 90 minutes of political jousting ⚔️ with two four-minute commercial breaks 📺. Candidates can take this time to rehydrate 💧, rethink strategies, and maybe rehearse some zingers in their heads 💭. But no notes or pep talks from their staff—just solo brainpower 🧠.

No Audience, No Laugh Track 🎤:
There won’t be a live audience, so we’ll have to guess if any jokes land or fall flat 🦗. The candidates will be relying solely on their wits (and maybe some well-timed eyebrow raises) for dramatic effect 🧐.

Podium Placement:
Walz will stand on the left side of the stage (your right if you’re watching on TV 📺), and Vance on the right. No need to adjust your screen settings, they’re not swapping places halfway through 🎭.

Speaking Times & Rules:
Each candidate gets two minutes to answer a question ⏱️, two minutes for rebuttals, and maybe an extra minute to throw in a last-minute jab. Mics won’t be muted when the opponent is speaking, but CBS reserves the right to hit the “mute” button if things get out of hand or they get an answer from Vance they don’t like🎙️🔕. Keep your popcorn ready.

Closing Statements (Coin Toss Edition):
Vance won the all-important virtual coin toss 🪙, so he chose to make his closing statement second. Each candidate will have two minutes to deliver their final remarks. Will they stick the landing, or will we all be left wondering, “What just happened?” 🤷‍♂️.

No Cheat Sheets Allowed:
No pre-released topics (unlike the Presidential debate), no props, and no “life lines” from the audience 🚫. It’s just two guys, two podiums, and whatever pre-debate caffeine they’ve consumed ☕.

Final Thought:
If you’re tuning in, expect a mix of serious political discourse 🧐 and those awkward moments we live for in debates. Whether you’re in it for the policy talk 📊 or the inevitable gaffes 🤦‍♂️, one thing’s for sure: by the end of the night, social media will be lit 🔥, and we’ll have plenty of new material for our office chats the next morning 🗣️. Let the games begin! 🎉
