If you want to follow the action at Tuesday night's vice presidential debate but would prefer to watch, say, the Orioles-Blue Jays in the American League wild-card playoff game, you're in luck: Donald Trump will be live tweeting all the action.

The Republican presidential nominee tweeted that he would be watching his running mate — "the great Governor @Mike_Pence" — square off against Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's vice presidential choice, and would call the action on his favorite social media platform.

This isn't the first time Trump has offered play-by-play of a campaign event — he live tweeted the opening Democratic debate in Las Vegas a year ago.

Ahead of that debate, he vowed to "shoot straight and call it as I see it," so expect a very even-handed analysis Tuesday night of how Pence is soundly defeating his Democratic rival.
