Kaine vs. Pence: Everything you need to know about the VP debate Last week, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton set viewership records for a presidential debate, with 84 million people tuning in.
The format of this debate will be similar to the presidential debate, but unlike last week's event, Kaine and Pence are not the individuals voters want to hear from.
Where is it?
Longwood University, about an hour west of Richmond, Va.
Who are they?
Mike Pence is the governor of Indiana and a former U.S. congressman.
During his 10 years in the House of Representatives, Pence chaired the Republican Study Committee, a kind of conservative think tank for the House Republican caucus.
Tim Kaine is a U.S. senator from Virginia who previously served as governor of the state and the mayor of Richmond.
Kaine also spent two years as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
No third-party candidates?
Nope.
Just like the presidential debates, the Libertarian and Green Party did not rank high enough in national polls to qualify for the debate stage.
Who is the moderator?
Elaine Quijano, an anchor on CBS News' streaming service CBSN, will moderate the debate.
She is the first Asian-American journalist to moderate a national debate, according to Cosmopolitan.
When is the next debate?
Tuesday is the only vice presidential debate.
The next Trump-Clinton debate is Oct. 9 in St. Louis.
