I am struggling with myself, trying to determine whether to watch tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate. I don’t believe I’ve ever watched a vice presidential debate before.
Yet another reminder that this is an election like no other in living memory. We have two incumbents running against one another, both running simultaneously on their records and as “outsiders”. That was underscored by Gov. Walz’s recent declamation that “we can’t stand four more years of this”. Historically, vice presidential debates have not been particularly consequential, that despite the ages of the candidates in 2020, but this one might be different.
It should also be entertaining to see whether the debate is actually three against one which is a pretty good guess.
