Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio), former President Trump’s running mate, said “of course” he wants to debate the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
“Of course,” Vance told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview with “State of the Union” that aired Sunday.
“I want to debate Tim Walz. I think it’s important and it speaks to a 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 debate,” Vance said.
“I think it’s very important. I mean, I’m asking the American people to nominate me as their vice president. It’s very important to get in front of the American people to make this case, and I will continue to do so in any way I get the opportunity,” Vance added.
Vance has repeatedly attacked the newly formed Democratic ticket for not yet meeting with the media to conduct a formal interview since President Biden stepped away from the ticket.
Walz said at his first rally this week with Harris that he “can’t wait to debate the guy,” referring to Vance.
