Washington — Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday agreed to participate in a vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News on Oct. 1 in New York City.
Earlier in the day, CBS News proposed four dates for a debate between the two vice presidential nominees: Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8.
A campaign official said Walz "looks forward to debating JD Vance — if he shows up.".
Vance did not respond to questions from reporters about whether he would agree to the debate when returning from an event in Michigan on Wednesday.
"We're certainly going to debate Tim Walz.
CNN hosted the first debate of the cycle between Mr. Biden and Trump in June, a much earlier start than in previous election years.
CNN allowed other networks to carry the debate on their airwaves, in keeping with the practice for debates hosted by the commission. »
