Kamala Harris Challenges JD Vance to a Debate — Here’s When It Could Go Down

Kamala Harris has just formally challenged Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance to a debate.

The Biden-Harris campaign announced that Harris invited Vance to debate on CBS News.

CBS’s debate terms would have the event held on either July 23 or August 13 — but, neither of these dates have been confirmed just yet.

The New York Times reports:

Vice President Kamala Harris called Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio to congratulate him on being selected as Donald J. Trump’s running mate and to express her hope that he would participate in a CBS News debate against her, according to two Biden campaign aides with knowledge of their conversation.

The offer from CBS is for a debate on Aug. 13 in Washington, D.C., according to one of the Biden aides, who were both granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The Biden campaign had accepted CBS’s invitation in May.

“Vice President Harris is prepared to debate J.D. Vance,” T.J. Ducklo, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, said in a call with reporters on Monday afternoon. “We have accepted the proposal from CBS News.”

The Trump campaign and CBS News did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The New York Post added that the Trump campaign wants to have the debate on Fox News, instead of CBS:

Vice President Kamala Harris called GOP Ohio Sen. JD Vance on Monday and left him a congratulatory voicemail after the Republican vice presidential pick didn’t pick up, a Biden-Harris campaign official confirmed to The Post.

Harris, 59, made the call after former President Donald Trump announced Vance, 39, as his VP pick on Truth Social.

The vice president also said in her voicemail that “she hoped to see [Vance] at the CBS News debate,” the campaign official added.

The Biden campaign has accepted a veep debate hosted by CBS News, but the Trump camp has been pushing for a Fox News debate instead.

The leftist MSM news outlets are already saying that Kamala Harris will “wipe the floor” with JD Vance in a debate…

But, I wouldn’t be too confident…

Remember this?

As I watch people on the Left claim Kamala will embarrass Vance in a debate I am reminded of this video I shared a couple of weeks ago …

Kamala isn’t embarrassing anyone. 😂 pic.twitter.com/oAyazcbzHt
