Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has agreed to debate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on October 1st in New York City.

CBS News will host the debate.

Vance also agreed to a debate hosted by CNN on September 18th.

“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!” Vance said Thursday.

From the Associated Press:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance have agreed to debate each other on Oct. 1, setting up a matchup of potential vice presidents as early voting in some states gets underway for the general election.

CBS News on Wednesday posted on its X feed that the network had invited both Vance and Walz to debate in New York City, presenting four possible dates — Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1 and Oct. 8 — as options.

Walz reposted that message from his own campaign account, “See you on October 1, JD.” The Harris-Walz campaign followed up with a message of its own, saying Walz “looks forward to debating JD Vance — if he shows up.”

Vance posted on X that he would accept the Oct. 1 invitation. He also challenged Walz to meet on Sept. 18.

Per Axios:

Having multiple VP debates would be unprecedented. In each of the past 10 presidential cycles, the running mates have debated a single time.

“The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already,” Vance wrote on X.

President Trump said he agreed to debates against Kamala Harris on ABC, NBC, and Fox News.

However, Kamala Harris has only agreed to the September 10th debate on ABC.

“I hear that Donald Trump has finally committed to debating me on September 10. I look forward to it,” Harris commented.
