Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, posted on X on Wednesday agreeing to debate on October 1st on CBS News.
Waltz’s response was in response to a CBS News X-Post listing possible dates for Waltz and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance to debate on the network.
Tim Waltz reposted the graphic, writing, “See you October 1st, JD.”

Vance responded to the potential controversy on “The Ingraham Angle,” a Fox News host with Laura Ingraham.
“Laura, we’re definitely going to debate Tim Walz. We just found out about this three hours ago, so we’ll talk to them and determine when we can debate,” Vance said.
“I certainly believe we’ll be there on October 1st, but Laura, we’re not going to have a fake debate, where there won’t be a real audience, where the parameters won’t be set in the right way, where there won’t be a good exchange of ideas,” Vance added.

“In other words, we’re not going to jump into some fake news media crap debate,” Vance said. “We’re going to have a real debate, and if CBS agrees, we will.”
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
According to a Harris campaign official, “President-elect Harris has accepted an invitation from CBS to participate in the vice presidential debate on October 1st. Governor Walz looks forward to debating with J.D. Vance if he is available.”
