“The American people deserve as much debate as possible,” Vance said in a post on X.

Vice presidential debates are often an opportunity to reach out to voters and make proposals, but they traditionally attract less attention than presidential debates.

Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump have already agreed to a debate on September 10, according to ABC News, the network that will organize it. EFE
