Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) will take to the debate stage Oct. 1.
CBS News made the announcement Thursday with a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“Gov. Tim Walz has agreed to participate in a vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News on Oct. 1 in New York City,” the post read.
CBS News invited the pair to debate Wednesday with four potential dates — Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1 and Oct. 8, the Associated Press reported.
The scenario then played out on X.
Walz responded, “See you on October 1, JD.”
The Harris-Walz campaign doubled down by posting, Walz “looks forward to debating JD Vance — if he shows up.”
Vance posted on X an invitation to debate on Sept. 18, too.
“The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already. 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!” he wrote.
“CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan of “Face the Nation” will moderate the Oct. 1 debate, the network said.
