Vice-Presidential candidates Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, and J.D. Vance, the Senator from Ohio, confirmed their participation in a debate hosted by CBS News. This event is set to take place on October 1.
The debate will be conducted by Norah O'Donnell, anchor and managing editor of "CBS Evening News," and Margaret Brennan, moderator of "Face the Nation" and CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent.
The network announced on Wednesday that Walz had agreed to the October 1 date after proposing four potential dates for the debate, according to Xinhua news agency.
"See you on October 1, JD," Walz, the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate, posted on X.
In response, Vance, the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate, confirmed his participation in a Thursday post on X.
"Not only do I accept the CBS debate on October 1, I accept the CNN debate on September 18 as well. I look forward to seeing you at both!" Vance stated.
J.D. Vance was chosen as Donald Trump's running mate on July 15, the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race on July 21, he endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee. Harris quickly gained party support and secured enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee through a five-day online voting process in early August.
On August 6, Harris announced Walz as her running mate. That same day, they began a five-day campaign tour through crucial swing states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada.
Last week, ABC disclosed that Trump and Harris had agreed to a presidential debate hosted by the network on September 10, marking their first debate appearance together before the November election.
