The US election campaign is in full swing. The USA is eagerly awaiting the televised confrontation between vice-presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance, which will take place on Wednesday night. Krone+ explains why the duel could be the deciding factor in the race for the White House.

In US presidential elections, the respective vice presidential candidates are not usually the deciding factor in the vote. This time - like so many things in this turbulent election campaign - everything is different. US political experts speculate that the Walz versus Vance confrontation could go down in history as the most important and most-watched TV duel between the "running mates".
