Following the debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia earlier this month, their respective running mates are gearing up for a debate next week in New York City.

CBS News has announced that the two vice presidential nominees, Minnesota’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz and Ohio’s Republican Senator JD Vance, have agreed to a debate on Tuesday, October 1.

CBS initially suggested four potential dates for this vice presidential debate: September 17, September 24, October 1, and October 8. Both campaigns quickly settled on the October 1 date.

“Looking forward to it on October 1, JD,” Walz tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) on August 14.

The following day, Vance accepted the October 1 date while also suggesting a debate on CNN for September 18. However, Michael Tyler, the communications director for Harris’s campaign, informed CBS News that Walz would only attend the October 1 debate.

Here are the details about the upcoming October 1 debate between Walz and Vance, including how to watch it and who will be moderating.

Who will moderate the October 1 vice presidential debate?

The debate will be moderated by Norah O’Donnell, anchor and managing editor of “CBS Evening News,” alongside Margaret Brennan, moderator of “Face the Nation” and CBS News foreign affairs correspondent.

Will there be another presidential debate?

Former President Donald Trump has declined an invitation from CNN to debate Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time on October 23, less than two weeks before Election Day.

At a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump expressed that “It’s just too late − voting has already started,” claiming he’s “already done two” debates and questioning CNN’s fairness towards him.

Harris accepted CNN’s invitation over the weekend, tweeting her hope that the former president would join her on stage.

“Vice President Harris is ready for another chance to debate Donald Trump and has accepted CNN’s invitation for October 23,” stated campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon in a press release. “Donald Trump should find it easy to agree to this debate, as it follows the same format and setup as the one he praised after participating in June.”

Earlier this month, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he won’t be debating Harris again, asserting that he triumphed in their previous encounter. However, when asked last week about the possibility of reconsidering a second debate, Trump remarked, “Maybe if I got in the right mood.”
