(WASHINGTON) — Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted an offer from CBS News to participate in a vice-presidential debate this summer, the Biden campaign said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Harris accepted CBS News’ proposed dates of July 23 or Aug. 13, the campaign said.<\/p>\n

“The Biden-Harris campaign has informed CBS News that we accept the network’s invitation to participate in a Vice Presidential debate, in studio, on either of two dates,” the campaign said.<\/p>\n

Trump has not yet made his vice-presidential pick, thought several potential hopefuls appear to be working to get in the former president’s good graces through participation in his fundraisers and attending his New York criminal trial.<\/p>\n

The news of the vice-presidential debate came a day after President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, agreed to two debates before the general election. One will be a prime-time debate at ABC News studios on Sept. 10. The debate will air on ABC News, ABC News Live and Hulu. Before that, they will participate in a CNN debate on June 27 in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The vice presidential debate would have the same guidelines that the Biden campaign outlined on Wednesday — including that it would not have an in-person audience, that there be firm time limits for answers, alternate turns to speak and candidate’s microphone should only be on when it is their turn to speak.<\/p>\n

As part of the debate negotiations, the Biden campaign proposed a vice-presidential debate in late July after the Republican National Convention. The former president has said he doesn’t plan to make an announcement about his vice-presidential pick until closer to the RNC.<\/p>\n

“Well, I’m not in a rush and we’ll do it sometime around the convention, but we have a lot of great people in the Republican Party,” Trump said in an interview with ABC affiliate WPVI in April, when asked about a potential vice presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to the Trump campaign accepting one of these dates so that the full debate calendar for this campaign can be set,” the Biden campaign said.<\/p>\n

Like the presidential debates, the vice-presidential debates are happening on an accelerated timeline.<\/p>\n

Vice presidential debates have traditionally been held within the first two weeks of October. Harris and former Vice President Mike Pence squared off on Oct. 7, 2020.<\/p>\n
