The Harris campaign announced Thursday that Vice President Kamala Harris would debate former President Donald Trump twice and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, D, would debate Ohio Senator JD Vance, R, once.
The Harris Campaign offered this statement: the “debate about debates is over.” Campaign communications director Michael Tyler added that the debates would be on September 10 and another in October between the presidential nominees, “assuming Donald Trump actually shows up.” Their running mates will spar once on October 1.
Voters deserve to see the candidates for the highest office in the land share their competing visions for our future … The more they play games, the more insecure and unserious Trump and Vance reveal themselves to be to the American people. Those games end now.
So far, Harris has accepted a debate on Sept. 10 on ABC News, while Trump has accepted two proposals, one on Sept. 4 on Fox News and the other on Sept. 25 on NBC News, reported The Hill. Harris has denied both of Trump’s accepted dates and venues.
Walz and Vance have reportedly already agreed to the Oct. 1 debate on CBS News. Vance oddly proposed an additional vice presidential debate on Sept. 18 with the heavily partisan CNN. However, the release by the Harris campaign indicates only one vice presidential debate, which is fairly normal.
Before Harris entered the race, Trump agreed to two debates with President Joe Biden. The first was on June 27, and the second would have been on Sept. 10, but after his horrendous and tearjerking performance, the Democrat coup began with his replacement of Harris.

Since then, Democrats have fortified around Harris as the presidential nominee, and she has shown a possible threat to Republicans, eliminating Trump’s lead.
