On Tuesday, two Midwesterners will face off in the only vice presidential debate of the election.

Governor Wallace and I are going to debate the issues that matter to the American people.

I think it's a good opportunity to contrast where we're at.

Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walls will share the stage

exactly five weeks from election day in a race that is very close.

Both candidates will likely lean on their small town middle of America credentials.

I grew up in Middletown, Ohio. Now I grew up in Butte, Nebraska. But they have very different ideas about what America should look like.

We also protected reproductive freedom

because in Minnesota we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make.

it was a victory it was a testament to the resolve of tens of millions of pro-life Americans.

I believe in the Second Amendment, but I also believe our first responsibility is to keep our

kids safe.

When J.D. Vance and Tim Wall's take the debate stage, will their performances make a difference in the outcome

of the election?
