With another debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump unlikely, all eyes will be on their running mates as they square off. Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Republican U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance will have a debate at 6 p.m. PDT Oct. 1, and the exchange of ideas will be broadcast on CBS, CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+.
Both vice presidential candidates will be at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York and “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan of “Face the Nation” will moderate the exchange of ideas, the network said. The debate will also be simulcasted on other networks such as Fox News and MSNBC.
The vice presidential debate is shaping up to be the last event between the two campaigns before the Nov. 5 election. One other event that Harris and Trump could have attended was the Al Smith charity dinner in New York, a bipartisan political event that the two presidential hopefuls attent, but Harris bowed out. She is opting to campaign in a battleground state.
