Each candidate will get two minutes to answer questions, two minutes to deliver rebuttals, and one minute for responses or follow-ups as granted. Moderators can also mute the candidates’ microphones when it is not their turn to speak. Walz and Vance will not be allowed any pre-written notes or props on stage.

A team of Scripps News journalists will be monitoring the debate for claims that are false, misleading or require more context.
