Minnesota Gov.
Tim Walz on Wednesday accepted an invitation from CBS News for a vice presidential debate against Sen. JD Vance of Ohio on Oct. 1.
Walz responded to the network's proposal in a post on X for the two candidates to face off onstage weeks before Election Day.
“See you on October 1, JD,” Walz wrote in his own post seven minutes after the CBS News tweet.
A Harris campaign official followed up in a statement saying the campaign had “accepted CBS’ invitation to a Vice Presidential Candidate Debate on October 1. Governor Walz looks forward to debating JD Vance -- if he shows up.”
Vance said during a Fox News interview Wednesday night that he planned to debate Walz, but did not commit to a specific date.
"We’re certainly going to debate Tim Walz.
We just heard about this thing three hours ago, so we’re going to talk to them and figure out when we can debate," Vance said.
