vice presidential debate
Second-in-command faceoff
A vice presidential debate is a formal televised encounter between candidates for vice president, typically held during a general election campaign.
These debates follow the same format as presidential debates but attract less attention, though memorable moments can shape narratives: The vice presidential debate produced the campaign's most quotable line.
Viewers often assess whether candidates seem ready to assume the presidency if needed.
