US Republican VP nominee Vance says he will debate Walz on Sept 18 and Oct 1
Harris and Trump are scheduled to debate on Sept. 10 on ABC News.
US Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance and Democratic rival Tim Walz will debate on Oct. 1 on CBS, after Vance said in a post on X that he had agreed to the date.
Vance, former President Donald Trump's running mate, also said he had accepted CNN's invitation to debate Walz, who is running alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, on Sept. 18. A CNN spokesperson said Walz had not yet accepted, according to a CNN news story.
"The American people deserve as many debates as possible ... I look forward to seeing you at both," Vance wrote on X.
Harris vs. Trump
Harris and Trump are scheduled to debate on Sept. 10 on ABC News.
Vance, a US senator from Ohio, and Walz, the governor of Minnesota, have exchanged barbs from afar since Harris named Walz as her running mate last week.
Harris' late entry into the race, following President Joe Biden's decision to abandon his own faltering reelection bid, has transformed the presidential contest. Opinion polls show Harris has mostly erased Trump's lead in the half-dozen battleground states likely to determine the outcome of the Nov. 5 election, and the Democrat has raised hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to a re-energized party.
