What former Vice President Mondale will be watching for in Wednesday's debate
The attention is centered on Salt Lake City Wednesday night for the only vice presidential debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris of California. MPR News will have that live at 9 p.m.
Former Vice President Walter Mondale was a senator from Minnesota when he took the stage against Republican Bob Dole in what was believed to be the first-ever vice presidential debate back in 1976.
