拜登竞选团队周四表示，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯已接受哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS News)的邀请，参加今年夏天的副总统辩论。
竞选团队说，哈里斯接受了哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部提出的7月23日或8月13日的日期。
“拜登-哈里斯竞选团队已经通知CBS新闻，我们接受该网络的邀请，在两个日期中的任何一个日期参加在演播室举行的副总统辩论，”竞选团队表示。
特朗普尚未做出副总统人选，尽管几名潜在候选人似乎正在努力赢得前总统的青睐参加他的筹款活动并出席他在纽约的刑事审判.
副总统辩论的消息传出前一天，美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)和前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)举行了辩论。同意在大选前进行两次辩论。其中一场辩论将于9月10日在美国广播公司新闻演播室举行。这场辩论将在ABC新闻、ABC新闻直播和Hulu上播出。在此之前，他们将参加6月27日在亚特兰大举行的CNN辩论。
副总统辩论将采用拜登竞选团队周三概述的相同指导方针，包括不会有现场观众，回答问题有严格的时间限制，轮流发言，候选人的麦克风只应在轮到自己发言时打开。
作为辩论谈判的一部分，拜登竞选团队提议在共和党全国代表大会后的7月下旬举行副总统辩论。这位前总统表示，他不打算在更接近RNC之前宣布他的副总统人选。
特朗普说:“嗯，我不着急，我们会在大会前后的某个时候这样做，但我们共和党有很多优秀的人。”今年4月在接受美国广播公司旗下WPVI采访时表示当被问及潜在的副总统候选人时。
拜登竞选团队表示:“我们期待特朗普竞选团队接受其中一个日期，以便能够确定这场竞选活动的完整辩论日程。
与总统辩论一样，副总统辩论也在加速进行。
副总统辩论传统上在10月的前两周举行。2020年10月7日，哈里斯和前副总统迈克·彭斯打成一片。
Harris accepts CBS News' VP debate offer for the summer
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.
Harris accepted CBS News' proposed dates of July 23 or Aug. 13, the campaign said.
"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.
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 throughparticipation in his fundraisers and attending his New York criminal trial.
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.
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.
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.
"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," Trumpsaid in an interview with ABC affiliate WPVI in April, when asked about a potential vice presidential candidate.
"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.
Like the presidential debates, the vice-presidential debates are happening on an accelerated timeline.
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.
