Vice President Kamala Harris congratulated Senator James Vance on his election as former President Donald Trump's running mate and challenged him to a televised debate, Politico reports.
Harris expressed "her hope that the two can meet in the vice presidential debate proposed by CBS News."
Harris and Vance are expected to face off in the debate later this summer. Biden's campaign has agreed to the CBS debate, which is scheduled for either July 23 or August 13. Trump's campaign did not decline the invitation but instead accepted Fox News' invitation to debate the vice presidential candidates.
"What we know is that Donald Trump wants an enabler. He doesn’t want a governing partner. He doesn’t want another Mike Pence, and I think that is clear," Harris said in a comment to the news agency.
According to the official, "The litmus test is, are they going to be absolutely loyal to Trump over country or their oath of office, or, frankly, the American people?"
"I’m planning on being at the CBS studios … in either July or August. And let’s see if the other side shows up. I’m ready to make the case — whoever he picks, no matter who it is," Harris said.
