ABC News took flak over its fact-checking during the presidential debate, fact-checking former President Donald Trump several times, including on dubious grounds, while never fact-checking Vice President Kamala Harris. Following the backlash, as well as a ratings hit to host David Muir, CBS announced it would not be fact-checking the vice presidential candidates.

CBS said it would be up to Vance and Walz to fact-check each other and that “the moderators will facilitate those opportunities” during the time allocated for rebuttals, according to the Associated Press.

However, CBS said CBS News Confirmed, its fact-checking unit, will put out real-time fact-checks on its blog and social media and during the post-debate analysis.

The 90-minute debate will take place in New York City at 9 p.m. It will be moderated by CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan. As with the presidential debate, there will be no audience.

Vance and Walz have been locked into their respective debate preparation for the past week for what may be the last debate of the 2024 presidential cycle.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is leading Walz’s debate prep, playing the role of Vance. On the other end, House Republican Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) played Walz in Vance’s debate prep. Emmer was reported to have been studying videos of Walz’s past debates to copy his mannerisms properly.
