Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to debate Donald Trump’s future running mate, a Biden campaign official told CNN Thursday.
Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to debate Donald Trump’s future running mate, a Biden campaign official told CNN Thursday. The Biden campaign informed CBS News it had accepted the network’s invitation to participate in a vice presidential debate in studio on either of the two dates the outlet proposed, July 23 or August 13, the campaign official said. “We look forward to the Trump campaign accepting one of these dates so that the full debate calendar for this campaign can be set,” the official added. The proposed date of July 23 would come less than a week after the conclusion of the Republican convention in Milwaukee, giving Trump’s running mate limited time to prepare for a debate with Harris. CNN has reached out to the Trump campaign about whether it would agree for his running mate to participate. The former president said in an interview that aired Thursday that there was a “pretty good chance” he would announce his vice presidential pick at the convention in Milwaukee. “I don’t say anything’s a 100%, but you’re getting pretty close. I’ll be doing it in Milwaukee,” he told TMJ4 news.
