The first presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris took place in Philadelphia earlier this month, with post-debate polling now beginning to spell out the impact the candidates had on likely voters.

Next, attention turns to the running mates as they prepare to take the debate stage.

CBS News announced last month that the two vice presidential nominees, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and GOP Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, both agreed to participate in a debate hosted by the network on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

According to CBS News, the network proposed four dates for a debate between the two vice presidential nominees: Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1 and Oct. 8. Both campaigns soon agreed to the Oct. 1 date.

"See you on October 1, JD," Walz posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Aug. 14.

Vance accepted the Oct. 1 debate the following day, while also proposing a debate for Sept. 18 on CNN. Michael Tyler, the communications director for Harris' campaign, told CBS News later that day that Walz will only participate in the Oct. 1 debate.
