Walz and Vance Confirm Oct. 1 Debate

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance have agreed to an October 1 vice-presidential debate hosted by CBS News. Walz confirmed his participation via a post on X, while Vance also accepted the invitation and challenged Walz to an additional debate on September 18, though Democrats have not yet agreed to this second date. This development follows the recent reshuffling of the Democratic ticket, with Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden as the presidential candidate and selecting Walz as her running mate. The October 1 debate will be moderated by CBS anchors Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan. Meanwhile, Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to face off in a presidential debate on September 10, with Trump pushing for additional debates.
