Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump kicked off debate season last week with the first of their presidential debates, and on Oct. 4 at 9pm ET, their respective running mates — Virginia Senator Tim Kaine (right in photo) and Indiana Governor Mike Pence — will face each other in the vice presidential debate, the first and only one. The debate will be held at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. The moderator will be Elaine Quijano, anchor for CBSN and correspondent for CBS News.
The vice presidential debate will be divided into nine time segments of approximately 10 minutes each. The moderator will ask an opening question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.
