Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to debate Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance, but the Trump campaign has not yet committed to a date, citing uncertainty over the Democratic presidential nominee.
According to the Biden-Harris campaign, Harris has accepted invitations to debate Vance on July 23, August 13, and August 12. The debate would be hosted by CBS News.
However, the Trump campaign has not yet agreed to a debate date, stating that they do not know which Democrat will be on the presidential ticket. In a statement, the Trump campaign said they cannot commit to a debate until the Democratic nominee is determined.
This uncertainty comes as the Republican National Convention is underway, with Vance set to deliver a speech on the third night. Vance, a first-term senator, has emerged as a prominent figure in the Republican party, gaining attention for his controversial views on issues like foreign policy and higher education.

Despite the Trump campaign’s hesitation, both Harris and Vance have expressed a desire to debate each other. Harris has urged Vance to accept the CBS debate invitation, while Vance has said “obviously, we want to debate Vice President Harris because it’s important for the American people to see the contrast”.
The potential debate would give voters a chance to compare the policy positions and visions of the two vice presidential candidates. However, the lack of agreement on a date suggests the Trump campaign may be seeking to delay or avoid the debate altogether, potentially to focus on other campaign priorities.
