Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance has expressed his interest in debating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but with a condition - he wants to debate Walz only after he officially becomes the Democratic vice presidential nominee. Vance stated, 'I absolutely want to debate Tim Walz, but I want to debate him actually after he’s actually officially the nominee.'
Vance went on to explain his reasoning, saying, 'Would it shock me if the Democrats pulled another switcheroo, no it wouldn’t. So look, we’re going to wait until they actually nominate Kamala Harris and Tim Walz before we do any debates. And then of course we want to have a robust debate.'
The announcement of Tim Walz as the running mate of Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris was made on Tuesday morning. This development sets the stage for a potential debate between Vance and Walz in the future, once the Democratic nomination process is complete.
