How To Watch the Vance-Walz Vice President Debate For Free With Sling
The first debate between Vice Presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz is set for Oct. 1 in NYC. Here's how to watch it for free with Sling Freestream.
Following a memorable (and memeabale) debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, their running mates JD Vance and Tim Walz will take the debate stage on Tuesday, Oct. 1 for the first (and likely final) Vice Presidential debate. Although Sling does not carry CBS – the channel hosting the debate – many of our news partners on Sling Freestream will be carrying a simulcast, so you can watch on Sling for free, no subscription required! Here’s how.
How To Watch the Vance-Walz Vice President Debate For Free With Sling
You can watch a simulcast of the CBS News Vice Presidential debate with CBS News 24/7 in the player above, or on any of the following channels available with Sling Freestream:
- USA TODAY News
- BBC News
- ABC News Live
- Scripps News
- LiveNOW from FOX
The debate is scheduled to begin at 9:00pm ET and will take place at the CBS Broadcast Center in Trump’s hometown of New York City.
Who is Moderating the Vice Presidential Debate?
CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Nora O’Donnell and Face the Nation anchor Margaret Brennan will moderate the Vice Presidential debate. It’s still not clear if the VP candidates will have the same rules as the Sep. 10 debate between Trump and Harris (mics muted, no meeting with staff during commercials) but the debate is expected to last 90 minutes.
When Are the Other Presidential or Vice Presidential Debates?
As of this writing, there are no additional debates scheduled before the election on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Following the first Trump-Harris debate, Kamala Harris accepted a proposed Oct. 23 CNN debate against Trump. Although that debate would have the same rules and moderators as the June debate between Trump and President Joe Biden, Trump told his supporters at a recent rally that the date is “just too late − voting has already started,” according to USA Today. While Trump has claimed that he might reconsider doing another debate “if I got in the right mood,” it’s unlikely that either Trump and Harris or the Vice Presidential candidates will have another debate before Americans head to the polls.
