WASHINGTON — Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz said Wednesday that he intends to debate his Republican counterpart JD Vance on Oct. 1.

Minnesota’s governor announced his preferred debate date after CBS offered four dates between Sept. 17 and Oct. 8.

“See you on October 1, JD,” Walz posted on X.

Vance, an Ohio senator, has indicated that he’s eager to debate Walz, though it was not immediately clear if there would be any wrangling over the date before a final agreement.

The vice presidential debate is expected to focus on policy differences between the 40-year-old Republican and the 60-year-old Democrat — as well as Vance’s allegation that Walz committed “stolen valor” by misstating his military record.

Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, are expected to have at least one debate — Sept. 10 on ABC.

Trump, 78, has agreed to do additional debates on Sept. 4 on Fox News and Sept. 25 on NBC, but Harris, 59, has not confirmed those dates.

“I am happy to have that conversation about an additional debate, or after Sept. 10, for sure,” Harris said last week.
