It is the only time the two are expected to meet during the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Vance is known for being informed, articulate and unflappable. Even his 2022 Democratic opponent, Tim Ryan, said, \u201cHe\u2019s a smart guy.\u201d He\u2019ll bring a style honed through verbal jousting with a gauntlet of television journalists, but not one that looks like Trump\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Republican political consultant Terry Casey, who has regularly helped with GOP debate prep in Ohio, said Vance and Trump are \u201cnight and day\u201d when it comes to debating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a lawyer who, intellectually, likes to dig into subjects in a different way than Trump does,\u201d Casey said. \u201cTrump both missed opportunities and took the bait when <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/harris-trump-debate-tuesday-6ad8c03f6bf1ae88870b7db26276236e\">he debated<\/a><\/span> Kamala Harris.

In addition to online sessions, most of that work has been taking place at his home in Cincinnati \u2014 where <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/usha-vance-attorney-jd-vance-wife-vp-63406da4f6739546391ed7797fc1fef2\">his wife, Usha<\/a><\/span>, and Trump campaign strategist Jason Miller have joined members of his inner circle to get Vance ready.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota U.S. Rep.

It\u2019s perhaps not as far a stretch for Vance \u2014 an Ohio native with Appalachian roots made familiar to many by the \u201cHillbilly Elegy\u201d book and movie \u2014 as it might be for another candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Vance comes into the event with solid debate performances from 2022 behind him. <\/p>\n<p>One such performance, in Cleveland, <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/election-2024-trump-vice-president-vance-ohio-33c2179a5ace72c742bbb3823298538b\">elevated his profile in Trump world<\/a><\/span> \u2014 and helped Vance land the former president\u2019s <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tropical-storm-mexico-pacific-coast-953e70f4b7bba39ab2f705742f63b803\">coveted endorsement<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s Democratic rival that fall, the former 10-term congressman Ryan, said the senator\u2019s vulnerability Tuesday could be in trying to deliver a performance that pleases Trump.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

Since becoming Trump\u2019s running mate, Vance has been the Trump campaign\u2019s highest-profile attack dog and a fixture on weekend news programs \u2014 where he often pushes back at hosts and calls them out by name. <\/p>\n<p>In one notable exchange with CNN\u2019s Dana Bash, Vance on Sept. 15 signaled his determination to stick by the false story that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/haitian-immigrants-vance-trump-ohio-6e4a47c52b23ae2c802d216369512ca5\">stealing and eating people\u2019s pets<\/a><\/span>, claims refuted by both local officials and Ohio\u2019s Republican governor but amplified by Trump in his Sept. 10 debate with Harris. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-vance-haitian-immigrants-ohio-threats-8035cbe409b471e61fe2e5457870d7b4\">More than 30 bomb threats<\/a><\/span> following those statements forced the city to <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-vance-haitian-immigrants-springfield-ohio-threats-d74b7ff56f9a45d9389d8ebee4af1652\">evacuate schools and government buildings<\/a><\/span> and some members of the Haitian community, who are in the U.S. legally, have said they feel unsafe.<\/p>\n<p>Vance insisted to Bash that his statements about immigrants eating pets were based on things he\u2019d been told by constituents.

Instead, he directly questioned Bash\u2019s objectivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDana, would you like to ask me questions and let me answer them, or would you like to debate me on these topics?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s forceful pushback seems to delight the Trump base. In an interview this summer, Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative activist group Turning Point USA, said such settings are Vance\u2019s strong suit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say commonly that JD Vance\u2019s superpower is his ability to go into adversarial media environments, be calm, cool and collected, and say things that are very persuasive without raising his voice,\u201d Kirk said.<\/p>\n<p>Vance also has viewed those media sit-downs as excellent debate practice, the person familiar with his preparations said.<\/p>\n<p>Under ordinary circumstances, it\u2019s hard to find evidence that debates matter much, said Kevin Parsneau, a political science professor at Minnesota State University in Mankato.
