Even before former and potentially future President Donald Trump selected Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate earlier this week at the RNC, there was chatter about a vice presidential debate between that pick and Vice President Kamala Harris. Back in May, Harris and CBS News threw out some ideas for such a debate to take place on July 23 or August 13. As the Trump campaign revealed on Wednesday night, though they're not going to commit to any such debates at this time. 

"We don’t know who the Democrat nominee for Vice President is going to be, so we can’t lock in a date before their convention. To do so would be unfair to Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, or whoever Kamala Harris picks as her running mate," a statement from Brian Hughes, the Trump Campaign Senior Advisor read.

The statement came out a few hours before Night 3 of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, during which Vance spoke. Chatter about how "uncertainty looms" after that statement from the campaign has been trending on X since.
