Kamala Harris challenges Vance to debate in congratulatory voicemail message

Published



MILWAUKEE — Vice President Kamala Harris has already accepted a debate against Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) just hours after the Ohio senator was tapped as former President Donald Trump’s running mate and nominated as the party’s vice presidential nominee during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Harris called Vance shortly after Trump tapped him as his running mate, but the two did not speak, according to a source familiar. Rather, Harris left a message to “congratulate him on his selection, welcome him to the race, and express her hope that the two can meet” in the debate.
