Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and GOP Sen. JD Vance of Ohio will participate in a debate tonight for the 2024 election cycle, hosted by CBS.
The contenders for the United States presidential seat chose their running mates at the end of July and beginning of August. Here’s what to know about the debate between Walz and Vance later today, including who is moderating and how to watch.
When is the vice-presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz?
The debate between the Republican senator and the Democratic governor will be on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 9 p.m. EDT.
The 90-minute debate will be broadcast on CBS and livestreamed on all platforms where CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+ are available.
The debate will also be made available for other networks and streaming services to simulcast, CBS announced.
Who are the moderators for the Oct. 1 vice presidential debate?
The debate will be moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” moderator and CBS News foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan.
Where will the Oct. 1 vice presidential debate be held?
The debate is scheduled for New York City, according to CBS News.
When is the next presidential debate?
More than 67 million viewers tuned in to watch Trump debate Harris, on Sept. 10, not counting people streaming it or watching on PBS. So will we see another match up before the election? It’s unlikely.
Moments after the debate ended, an email from the Harris-Walz campaign slammed Trump again and ended with, “Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate. Is Donald Trump?”
Meanwhile, Trump was telling reporters that since he won, he didn’t need to go again but “we’ll see.” By the next morning, Trump told Fox News he wasn’t sure he wanted or needed to debate again.
“I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate. We had a terrible, a terrible network,” Trump said. Since then he has said in interviews and at rallies that there was no need for a “rematch,” although he has also mused that he might if he was in the right mood.
Trump later declined a CNN invitation for a second debate for Wednesday, Oct. 23, telling supporters at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina that “It’s just too late — voting has already started.” He also said he’d done two already — the first was against President Joe Biden, which went so poorly for him that he dropped out of the race in favor of Harris — and that he didn’t think CNN would be fair.
Harris accepted the invitation, saying in a post on X she hoped Trump would reconsider meeting her on the debate stage.
