WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 – U.S. Vice Presidential nominees – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance – on Thursday agreed to participate in a debate hosted by CBS News, which is scheduled for Oct. 1.
The debate will be moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” moderator and CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, according to the network.
On Wednesday, the network announced that Walz agreed to the Oct. 1 date, after proposing four dates for a debate between the two vice presidential nominees.
“See you on October 1, JD,” Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, said Wednesday in a post on “X”, formerly known as Twitter.
Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, said in a post on “X” Thursday that he has agreed to the debate.
“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!” said Vance.
Last week, ABC announced that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris agreed to a presidential debate to be hosted by the network on Sept. 10, setting up the first confrontation between the new opponents on stage prior to the November election.
