Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance have agreed to an Oct. 1 vice presidential debate on CBS.
CBS News announced Wednesday that it had invited both Walz and Vance to a debate in New York City, and offered four date options.
Within minutes of the invitation, Walz posted on the social media platform X, “See you on October 1, JD.”
Vance posted Thursday on X that he would accept the Oct. 1 invitation. He also challenged Walz to meet on Sept. 18, writing, “The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already. Not only do I accept the CBS debate on October 1st, I accept the CNN debate on September 18th as well. I look forward to seeing you at both!”
Walz spent Wednesday in Denver at a private fundraiser, where he reportedly raised $3 million. He was headed to New England next for fundraisers in Boston and Rhode Island.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump are set to face each other at the first presidential debate between the two rivals on Sept. 10. Trump has proposed two more debates.
