Tim Walz and JD Vance might have the chance to reshape the political landscape Oct. 1 in their first and only debate.

Vice presidential picks have traditionally taken on the role of political attack dog, laying into opponents so that their running mate can appear above the political fray. That’s generally been less true since former President Donald Trump scrambled political norms.

But Mr. Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, made it to national prominence by labeling rival Republicans “weird.” Mr. Vance, the Republican junior senator from Ohio, has torn into Vice President Kamala Harris’ party on immigration, notably by spreading a false story about Haitian immigrants in his home state that Mr. Trump then cited during his own debate with Ms. Harris.
