Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, has agreed to debate Ohio Senator JD Vance, former President Donald Trump's running mate. This will be the first direct confrontation between two US vice presidential candidates.
The debate was hosted by CBS News on October 1. CBS News said on its social media platform X that it had proposed four debates in September and October between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance. Walz responded to the invitation to the October 1 debate, before Harris' campaign confirmed that it had accepted the invitation for that date.

Mr. Vance said on August 15 that he had also accepted an invitation to debate on October 1, and mentioned another invitation from CNN on September 18. Previously, in an interview with Fox News on August 14, Senator Vance confirmed that he wanted to participate in the debate on October 1, but not in a "no-audience" manner like what happened in the debate between Mr. Trump and President Joe Biden on June 27. Meanwhile, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic opponent Kamala Harris will participate in the debate on September 10 on ABC News. This will be the first direct confrontation in a campaign that is reflected in very close polls. According to recent polls, Ms. Harris is currently tied or leading Mr. Trump in most of the swing states that will decide the outcome of the race for the White House in early November.VNA/qdnd.vn
