Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance and his Democratic counterpart Tim Walz are set to engage in a public debate on October 1. Vance confirmed his participation a day after Walz, the governor of Minnesota, accepted the invitation. Vance also accepted an invitation to a vice presidential debate in the fall, and the network reached out to the Kamala Harris campaign for comment.
Vance, who was named Donald Trump's running mate last month, expressed his anticipation for the two debates on social media. He stressed the importance of holding as many debates as possible, saying the American public deserves to hear from the leading candidates for president and vice president.
Walz, who recently joined Harris on the Democratic ticket, also accepted the invitation to the Oct. 1 debate. The network offered the candidates two dates in September and two in October for a debate in New York City.
After a campaign stop outside Pittsburgh, Vance called for more debates, accusing Walz and Harris of avoiding media interviews. He expressed readiness for a debate in mid-September, stressing the importance of standing before the American people and asking for their vote.
Harris and Trump have agreed to meet for a presidential debate on September 10. Trump has also accepted debates on other networks, while Harris has been open to discussing an additional debate after 9/10.
In May, before Joe Biden dropped out of the race, Harris accepted an invitation to debate Trump's future running mate. After Biden's departure and Harris' rise to the top of the Democratic ticket, Vance expressed his disappointment that he would not have the opportunity to face Harris on stage.
