Vice presidential nominees, Governor Tim Walls and Senator JD Vance

square off later tonight in the final scheduled debate of the presidential campaign.

For more on how the candidates are preparing and what to watch for, let's welcome in our panel, that's our own Lisa de Jardin and

Larbaro and Lopez, as well as Republican strategist Kevin Madden

and Democratic strategist Amisha Cross,

with a welcome to all of you.

Lisa, J.D Vance is coming into this

with less experience as a candidate.

How is the Trump campaign getting him ready

for tonight's debate?

Well, there is official debate prep, unlike what Trump said he was doing.

J.D. Vance has been preparing at home in Cincinnati and over Zoom calls with someone personifying

waltz, and that person is fellow Minnesotan

Tom Emmer who also happens to be the number three House Republican. Now I'm told

that this prep is something that they have done in earnest but at the same time

political reported today that on a phone call with Teamsters J.D. Vance said

that he hasn't had to do all that much because he's focused on the policy and that they

feel good about their policy. That is in contrast to a press call that the Trump

campaign had yesterday in which they tried to downplay J.D. Vance's ability

and say that they thought Waltz was going to be a tougher debate

opponent. It's clearly the expectation game. I am told that they are prepared for two different kinds

of Waltz personas, whether it's the jocular dad or someone who goes on the attack.
