JD Vance Agrees To 2 Debates Against Democratic Rival Tim Walz
HuffPost
The Republican vice presidential nominee previously seemed reluctant to confirm that he would attend an Oct. 1 debate on CBS News.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance on Thursday said he now agrees to debate Democratic rival Tim Walz on two occasions after previously appearing reluctant to commit to a faceoff.
“Not only do I accept the CBS debate on October 1st, I accept the CNN debate on September 18th as well,” the Ohio Republican wrote in a social media post directed at Walz. “I look forward to seeing you at both!”
Walz has so far not said whether he agrees to the proposed CNN event, but on Wednesday he confirmed his acceptance of CBS News’ invitation to debate. The CBS event is set to take place in New York City with anchors Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan moderating, the network confirmed.
Interestingly, the September date coincides with a sentencing hearing in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York.
Vance also said, “The American people deserve as many debates as possible,” adding that this is why Trump has challenged Vice President Kamala Harris to square off in three debates.
