After former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris took the debate stage in Philadelphia earlier this month , their running mates are preparing to do the same next week in New York City.
CBS News previously announced that the two vice presidential nominees, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota and Republican 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.
Here's what we know about the Oct. 1 debate between Walz and Vance, including how to watch and who is moderating.

The debate is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET on Oct. 1, the network announced last week.
It will be broadcast on CBS and livestreamed on all platforms where CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+ are available. The debate will also be made available to simulcast, CBS announced.
Where will the Oct. 1 vice presidential debate be held?
The debate is scheduled to take place at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City.
Who are the moderators for the Oct. 1 vice presidential debate?
The debate will be moderated by "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell and "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, the network announced.
Will there be another presidential debate?
Former President Donald Trump declined a CNN invitation to debate Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time on Oct. 23, less than two weeks before Election Day.
Trump told supporters at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, Saturday that "It's just too late − voting has already started." He also said he's "already done two" debates, and questioned whether CNN would be fair to him.
Harris had accepted CNN’s invitation on Saturday, sharing in a tweet that she hopes the former president would join her.
“Vice President Harris is ready for another opportunity to share a stage with Donald Trump, and she has accepted CNN’s invitation to a debate on October 23,” said campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon in a press release. “Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate. It is the same format and setup as the CNN debate he attended and said he won in June, when he praised CNN’s moderators, rules, and ratings.”
The former president wrote in a Truth Social post earlier this month that he wouldn’t debate Harris again, claiming he won the ABC face-off against her. However, when asked if he would reconsider a second debate with Harris last week, Trump told reporters, “Maybe if I got in the right mood.”
