The first presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris occurred in Philadelphia earlier this month, with post-debate polling showing the impact on likely voters. Now, attention shifts to the vice presidential nominees, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and GOP Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, who have agreed to participate in a debate on October 1st, hosted by CBS News. The debate was originally proposed for four dates, with both campaigns agreeing on October 1st. Walz confirmed his participation on social media, while Vance also accepted and proposed an additional debate on September 18th on CNN, which was declined by Walz’s campaign. The October 1st debate will be held in New York City and moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan. Start time and broadcast details are still to be announced by CBS News. The upcoming debate will provide voters with an opportunity to hear from the vice presidential nominees on important issues. Contributing to the conversation are Joey Garrison and Michael Collins from USA TODAY. Gabe Hauari, a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY, can be followed on social media or reached via email for further information.
