    Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and his Republican counterpart Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) have agreed to debate on Oct. 1 on CBS in New York City.

    “See you on October 1, JD.,” Walz posted on X on Wednesday.

    A day later, Vance similarly posted on social media that he had agreed to CBS’ terms, adding his desire for a second debate between the pair.

    “The American people deserve as many debates as possible, which is why President Trump has challenged Kamala to three of them already,” he wrote. “Not only do I accept the CBS debate on October 1st, I accept the CNN debate on September 18th as well. I look forward to seeing you at both!”
