WASHINGTON - U.S. Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz said on Wednesday he has agreed to debate his Republican rival JD Vance on Oct. 1, which is one of the dates for a debate proposed by CBS News.

       The network said it has provided the campaigns four dates for the debate: Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1 and Oct. 8.

       Asked about a possible debate, Vance told Fox News: "I strongly suspect we're going to be there on October the 1st." Vance also said he wanted to debate Walz more than once.
