"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party... to defeat Donald Trump... And together, we will win."

"This is a race Democrats can and must win."

"If the Democrats can be unified... then they have a good chance to win in November."

"I’d be very wary and a bit cautious on assuming that Trump is just going to sail to victory."

"Donald Trump’s hopes of claiming the White House just went from near certain to extremely uncertain" now Biden has dropped out.

"This kind of chaos this close to Election Day means Trump is going to win."

"It doesn’t matter whom the Democrats pick... Donald Trump will win in November."

"Donald Trump is now the de facto president."

"If the 2024 presidential election is a race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris then Trump will win, every time, and most likely win easily."

"Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been."

Who Will Win the 2024 US Presidential Election?

Democratic and Republican vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance have agreed to debate on CBS News on Oct. 1. Vance confirmed his intent to take part a day after Walz's acceptance of CBS' offer on Wednesday.

CBS News had offered both Minnesota Gov. Walz and Sen. Vance (R-OH) four potential dates (Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8) for the debate. Vance has since also publicly accepted a further invitation by CNN to debate Walz on Sept. 18.

Speaking to Fox News yesterday, Sen. Vance had claimed that while he "strongly suspect[ed]" the two were to debate on Oct. 1, his team would "talk about the rules a little bit" and ensure it wasn't an alleged "fake news media garbage debate" without an audience.

2024 presidential candidates former Pres. Donald Trump and Vice Pres. Kamala Harris are also scheduled to debate on ABC News on Sept. 10. Trump previously debated then-Democratic candidate Pres. Biden on June 27.

CBS News

A poll of nearly 1.6K US adults by The Economist/YouGov between Aug. 11-13 found Gov. Walz was viewed 40% favorably and 39% unfavorably, compared to Sen. Vance's 36% and 37% respectively (+/- 3.3%).

As of Aug. 14, ABC's FiveThirtyEight national polling average placed VP Harris at 46.2%, ahead of former Pres. Trump by 2.6 percentage points at 43.6%.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has accepted CBS News' invitation to debate his Republican counterpart JD Vance. He posted about the event on X: "See you on October 1, JD."

CBS News had offered both Minnesota Governor Walz and Senator Vance (R-OH) four potential dates (Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8) for the debate.

While Sen. Vance "strongly suspect[ed]" they were to debate on Oct. 1, his team said they would "talk about the rules a little bit" and ensure it wasn't a "fake news media garbage debate" without an audience.

Republican 2024 candidate, former Pres. Donald Trump, is set to debate the Democratic nominee, Vice Pres. Kamala Harris, on ABC News on Sept. 10. Trump previously debated then-candidate Pres. Biden on June 27.

Despite Fox News' best attempts to get an outright answer from Vance, the Republican VP nominee has so far refused to confirm his attendance on Oct. 1. Walz has been public with his commitment to the debate but, for now, there is no guarantee anything will come of CBS's offer.

Vance is ready for a debate as long as the conditions are properly assessed. While Democrats have shown their intent to only debate after early voting has already begun, Vance is focused on ensuring that CBS does not attempt to skew the odds in Waltz's favor.

There is a 55% chance Kamala Harris will be elected US President in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

US Elections: Walz Agrees to October VP Debate on CBS

October's debate between Walz and Vance will be the perfect moment for the Republican vice presidential candidate to be scrutinized for his radical links to Project 2025. Vance's campaign trail has so far been disastrous, and despite his best attempts to distance himself from the Heritage Foundation, the GOP ticket's hardline policies on key freedoms such as abortion will soon be visible for all of America to see.

J.D. Vance Desperately Agrees to Debate Tim Walz—and Begs for More

While Harris and her campaign team continue to hide from the media, Vance is out on the campaign trail articulating Trump's policy vision to the American people. Taking the fight to the American establishment, Vance and the GOP have accepted not one but two VP debate offers – it is time to see whether Democrats will put their money their mouth is.
