Tonight marks the one and only debate between vice presidential hopefuls - Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance

The two men will square off at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York. 

The debate will be moderated by CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan. 

The conversation could get colorful as it was Vance who first claimed that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating the residents' pets. 

Former President Donald Trump produced the most viral moment during last month's debate in Philadelphia against Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, when he brought up the Springfield pet conspiracy theory. 

'They're eating the dogs - the people that came in. They're eating the cats,' Trump claimed. 'They're eating the pets.' 

Local officials have pushed back on Trump's and Vance's claims since the September 10 debate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

And despite Democratic criticism of Trump spreading mistruths, party members have kept alive a fake rumor that Vance included a passage in his best-selling book, Hillbilly Elegy, where he makes love to a couch. 

There's also a rumor being pushed by the left that Vance wears eyeliner. 

Vance will likely go after Walz over his military record - hence the inclusion of the term 'stolen valor' - and his handling of the Black Lives Matter protests that tore through Minneapolis during the summer of 2020, during Walz's tenure as governor. 

Walz will likely call attention to Vance's 'childless cat lady' comments about Democrats. 

The Minnesota governor got attention from Harris' team after calling Trump and Vance 'weird' when stumping for Democratic candidates - a dig that helped him get picked for the 2024 ticket. 

And in a callback to the vice presidential debate four years ago, BINGO will immediately be won if a fly lands on a candidate's head. 

In 2020, a fly landed on Vice President Mike Pence as he participated in a debate against Harris in Salt Lake City, Utah.
