Will JD Vance debate Tim Walz?

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. But will there be a vice presidential debate?

That remains unclear.

Last month, Donald Trump’s campaign declined to commit to three dates for a vice presidential debate proposed by the then-Joe Biden campaign, citing the possibility the president could end his reelection campaign. Biden did ultimately decide to drop out of the race.

“We don’t know who the Democrat nominee for Vice President is going to be, so we can’t lock in a date before their convention,” Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement.

While the Democratic National Convention isn’t scheduled to begin until Aug. 19, Harris became the officially Democratic presidential nominee Monday night, thanks to a virtual roll call vote.

A vice presidential debate had been scheduled to take place at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 25, but the event was canceled.

If the two don’t face off, this will be the first election cycle without a vice presidential debate since 1980, when Republican vice presidential nominee George H.W. Bush and his Democratic opponent, Walter Mondale, both refused to participate.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump might not debate again, either

Trump backed out of a debate on ABC that, prior to Joe Biden dropping out of the race, had been scheduled for Sept. 10. In its place, Trump proposed a debate on Fox News on Sept. 4 in Pennsylvania that would involve a live audience.

“I’ll be there on September 10, like he agreed to,” Harris wrote on social media. “I hope to see him there.”
