Earlier today, Senator JD disclosed that he has accepted the invitation of CBS News, to hold a vice presidential debate with Tim Walz the running mate of the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The debate which is organized by CBS News will be the second debate and a totally different version from the debate organized by CNN which will be held on September 18.
Disclosing his decision on his X account, the Republican Ohio Senator said “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, but I accept the CNN debate on September 18th as well. I look forward to seeing you both”.
As the United States of America’s general election draws closer to the point of intense campaigns and debate, CBS had proposed four dates for the vice presidential date: Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8.
Tim Walz is yet to agree to CNN’s September 18 proposed debate and The Harris and Timz campaign has not fully responded to the CNN request as to whether the Minnesota governor will participate at the CNN September 18 proposed vice presidential debate.
While reaching for a delay in response, a CNN spokesperson extended invitations to both vice presidential candidates for a debate in the fall and acknowledged that Vance has accepted CNN’s invitation.
In the statement released by a CNN spokesperson, it was said “We are always in communication with the campaigns around opportunities for the American public to hear from leading candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, and we look forward to this programming in the fall,”.
Last week, President Trump acknowledged that his campaign office has accepted the CBS’s vice presidential debate and JD Vance “has stepped up mentally” and is doing a fantastic job but didn’t comment on the chosen date.
President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set for a face-off debate on September 10 organized by ABC News.
