Gov. Tim Walz agrees to VP debate hosted by CBS News on Oct. 1

Washington — Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday agreed to participate in a vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News on Oct. 1 in New York City.

Former President Donald Trump's campaign has not yet agreed to the date, leaving GOP Sen. JD Vance's participation in question. 

Earlier in the day, CBS News proposed four dates for a debate between the two vice presidential nominees: Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8. The Harris-Walz campaign soon agreed to the Oct. 1 date.

"See you on October 1, JD," Walz wrote on X. A campaign official said Walz "looks forward to debating JD Vance — if he shows up."

Vance did not respond to questions from reporters about whether he would agree to the debate when returning from an event in Michigan on Wednesday. Later, in an interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Vance said he was open to debating Walz on Oct. 1, but did not firmly commit to the date.
