Both candidates for vice president will spar in a CBS-hosted debate on Oct. 1.

The two vice presidential nominees—Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) and Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz—will face each other in a debate on Oct. 1, one month out from the 2024 election.

Debate host CBS News announced on Aug. 15 that after proposing four dates for the matchup—Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8—the Harris–Walz campaign quickly agreed to the third.

“See you on Oct. 1, JD,” Walz wrote on X.

In response, Vance said he accepted the date, while also pushing for another debate on CNN on Sept. 18.

“Not only do I accept the CBS debate on Oct. 1, I accept the CNN debate on Sept. 18 as well. I look forward to seeing you at both!” Vance wrote on X.

Traditionally, there is a single vice presidential debate per election cycle. On Aug. 15, Harris–Walz campaign communications director Michael Tyler said Walz would only participate in the CBS debate on Oct. 1.

Now that both campaigns have agreed to the showdown, here’s what you should know about the Vance–Walz vice presidential debate.

CBS News will broadcast the 90-minute debate at 9 p.m. ET with two commercial breaks, lasting four minutes each.

Network “Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan will run the debate from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, an area that often leans Democrat but was also a longtime home of former President Donald Trump.

In addition to the CBS broadcast network, viewers can watch the debate on all platforms and streaming services where CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+ are located. C-SPAN is hosting a live stream of the debate.

NTD, The Epoch Times’ sister media outlet, will also stream the debate.

What Are the Rules?

CBS released the debate rules on Sept. 27.

There will be no opening statements, and the moderators will begin by introducing the incumbent party candidate, Walz.

Vance’s podium will be on the left side of the television screen, while Walz’s will be on the right.
