Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said he’s willing to have a VP debate with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said during an Aug. 11 interview that he’s open to a vice presidential debate with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
During an interview that aired on Aug. 11, Vance indicated that he was ready and willing to debate the presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee.
“Of course I want to debate Tim Walz,” Vance told CNN’s Dana Bash.
“I think it’s important and I think that it goes to a very fundamental difference between the Trump–Vance ticket and our opposition: We believe in talking to the media. We believe in answering questions. We believe in debating. I think it’s really important.
“I mean, look, I’m asking the American people to make me their vice president,” Vance said. “It’s really important to stand before the American people to make that case, and I’m going to keep on doing it and whatever forum I get the opportunity.”
Previously, Vance had said that he wouldn’t commit to a debate until Walz was officially named the vice presidential nominee.
