“Harris for President has accepted CBS’ invitation to a Vice Presidential Candidate Debate on October 1,” the official wrote. “Gov. Walz looks forward to debating JD Vance — if he shows up.”
Vance and former President Donald Trump‘s campaign were originally skeptical of negotiating a debate after Harris initially accepted CBS’ invitation for a July or August debate before Trump had even announced his running mate.
