Description:

Busboys and Poets is your go-to spot for all things politics, and we’re excited to announce that we’ll be streaming the VP debate live on our big screens at all locations.

The debate will feature Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and GOP Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, marking the first time they are going head to head. It will be moderated by Norah O'Donnell, anchor of CBS Evening News, and Margaret Brennan, moderator of Face the Nation and CBS News foreign affairs correspondent.

Make sure to arrive early to snag a good seat! The debate starts at 9 PM, but the fun kicks off even earlier. We’ll have drink specials all night long, so you can enjoy the evening while connecting with fellow political enthusiasts.

Come for the debate, and stay for the great community atmosphere!

Free and open to all
