The vice presidential candidates, Tim Kaine and Mike Pence, will face off tonight for a one-night-only debate at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia.
CBS News correspondent and CBSN anchor Elaine Quijano will moderate the 90-minute debate, which runs from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. ET.
Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS will carry the debate as well as cable networks Bloomberg, CNN, C-SPAN, Fox News, Fox Business, Fusion and MSNBC. If Tim Kaine was hoping to launch into his fluent Spanish at some point, he won’t be seen on the three major Spanish-language networks. According to schedule guides Univision, Telemundo Azteca America will not carry the VP debate, despite carrying last week’s first presidential debate. CNBC is passing as well.
