The vice-presidential debate airs Tuesday at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. It is hosted by CBS News, but will also be available on many other networks.
Tuesday also brings us the final legislative special election before the November 5 general election.
Alabama State House District 52
Republicans dominate the Alabama House of Representatives, holding 76 of 105 seats. There are 28 Democrats and one vacancy, which will be filled Tuesday. Members serve four year terms; the next regular elections are in 2026.
The Birmingham area District 52 has been vacant since March, when Democrat John Rogers resigned. He had been in the State House since 1982. Rogers left after pleading guilty to federal criminal charges.
Per the Alabama Political Reporter, "The special election features Democrat Kelvin Datcher, the deputy director of community development for Birmingham, squaring off against Republican Erskine Brown Jr., a 67-year-old retired U.S. Army veteran."
This is the first time a Republican is contesting the seat since 2014.
Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
