Vice President Kamala Harris has agreed to three different dates for a vice presidential debate against Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Donald Trump‘s running mate.

CBS News would host the debate.

In a statement, a Biden campaign official, “On May 16, Vice President Harris accepted the very first invitation we received from a television network to host a Vice Presidential Debate. She agreed at that time to participate in a CBS-hosted debate on either Tuesday, July 23 or Tuesday, August 13.

“Since then, CBS has offered – and the VP has accepted – another potential date for this debate: Monday, August 12. 

“Now that the Trump campaign has selected a running mate, we encourage them to agree to a debate between Vice President Harris and Senator Vance.”

A Trump campaign spokesperson did not return a request for comment.

Harris and Vance spoke on Tuesday, including in general about debating, according to the AP. In May, before he selected his running mate, Trump said his campaign had accepted a vice presidential debate, but it would be one hosted by Fox News. The Biden campaign had spelled out the criteria it would accept for debates this cycle, and both Fox News and MSNBC would be excluded.

ABC News plans to host the next presidential debate on Sept. 10.
