One vice presidential candidate is a best-selling author who coined the term “childless cat ladies” to disparage Democrats and latched onto a made-up story about immigrants eating pets. The other is a folksy former high school football coach who has faced questions about his military service and has called his Republican opponents “weird,” a label that quickly stuck.
Both are white guys from the U.S. Midwest who claim to understand what Americans in the heartland really want but are sharply divided over policy. When Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz collide in a vice presidential debate next week, both will seek to fill in the basic sketches that the American public has seen of them so far while also making the case for their respective presidential nominees, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
