JD Vance has finally committed to two vice presidential debates on CBS News and CNN against his Democratic rival Tim Walz.
The Republican candidate initially refused to commit to a debate yesterday after CBS News sent the two vice presidential candidates four suggested dates and Walz defiantly responded with: “See you on October 1.”.
Hours later, on Thursday morning, Vance confirmed he had since accepted the CBS News debate on October 1 and also an additional debate with CNN on September 18.
“Not only do I accept the CBS debate on October 1st, I accept the CNN debate on September 18th as well.
Neither Walz or Kamala Harris’s campaign have yet responded to Vance over the CNN debate.
Should Walz commit to the CNN debate this would mark the first time in American history that there has been more than one vice presidential debate in an election cycle.
