Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) are set to face off on the debate stage Tuesday evening, where they’ll have one of the biggest audiences to prove their mettle as former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 vice presidential picks.

Both men were selected for their Midwest credentials and ability to win over voters in the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
