The Democratic US vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz, has agreed to a TV debate with his Republican opponent JD Vance on October 1. “See you on October 1, JD,” the candidate wrote on the online platform X. Vance did not initially comment.
The broadcaster CBS News had invited the two candidates to a debate in New York and offered four dates to choose from. Two of them would be in September and two in October. The presidential election in the USA will take place on November 5th.
Harris and Trump have agreed to a TV debate in September
Presidential candidates Trump and Harris want to face each other in a TV debate in September. According to the television channel ABC, the Republican and the Democrat have agreed to a debate on September 10 (local time). There may be further TV debates, but the dates and conditions have not yet been set. Before agreeing on a date for the first debate, Trump and Harris had a public tussle and accused each other of ducking out of fear of the other.
For Harris’ predecessor in the presidential race, Joe Biden, his TV debate against Trump was a debacle. Biden’s weak performance increased the pressure within the party to withdraw from the candidacy and fueled a downward trend that ultimately led to the 81-year-old withdrawing in favor of his vice president. The upcoming TV debates, the framework and rules of which must be confirmed by both sides, are therefore awaited with particular excitement.
