Democratic nominee Tim Walz and Republican nominee JD Vance will face off in their final vice presidential debate, just five weeks before Election Day. The debate, set for Tuesday, follows a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

A CBS News/YouGov poll shows 24% of voters plan to watch the debate to help decide their vote. Walz, Minnesota's governor, focuses on abortion access, while Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, highlights inflation and U.S. manufacturing. Despite the limited impact of VP debates, Harris leads Trump by a narrow margin, leaving undecided voters in play.

Moderated by CBS anchors Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan, the 90-minute debate will include fact-checking. Trump plans to provide live commentary on Truth Social.

Polls show 49% of voters believe Walz is qualified to be president if needed, while 44% say the same about Vance. Their military backgrounds and policy views will likely be key discussion points during the debate.
