Kamala Harris accepts invitation to debate Trump VP pick

President Biden's campaign announced this week that Vice President Kamala Harris will debate former President Donald Trump's eventual running mate in a televised CBS event.

"I don’t say anything is 100%, but you’re getting pretty close," Trump said of selecting his running mate. "I’ll be doing it in Milwaukee. We’re going to have a great time."

An official with the Biden campaign told Politico they "look forward to the Trump campaign accepting one of these dates so that the full debate calendar for this campaign can be set."

The debate will be broadcast by CBS News and hosted inside the network's studios.

The letter also asked that the debates involve just the two candidates and the moderator — without "an in-person audience with raucous or disruptive partisans and donors" that Trump feeds on. 

They also want the debates without the participation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. or other independent or third-party candidates.
