Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) said during an interview on Wednesday evening that he will debate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the CBS News vice presidential debate this fall as long as the network doesn’t play any games with the parameters that it sets for the debate.

CBS News made its invitation to both vice presidential candidates in a statement released to the public Wednesday afternoon, noting that it gave the candidates four dates as options for the debate in New York City: September 17, September 24, October 1, and October 8.

Walz blasted out on social media that he accepted the October 1 date, which is after early voting begins in a number of states.

When asked during a Fox News interview about whether he would be at the debate, Vance responded: “We want to actually look at the debates, look at the moderators, talk about the rules a little bit. CBS reached out to us about this literally three hours ago, I was landing from a rally and a press conference in Michigan.”

“I strongly suspect we’re going to be there on October 1st, but we’re not going to do one of these fake debates, where they don’t actually have an audience there,” he continued, noting that the parameters of the debate needed to set up in the right way to encourage “a good exchange of ideas.”

“In other words, we’re not going to walk into a fake news media garbage debate,” he added. “We’re going to do a real debate, and if CBS agrees to it, then certainly we’ll do it.”

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned effective immediately after the school was rocked by far-left pro-Hamas riots earlier this year.

The riots got so out of control that the extremists took over an entire building on the university’s campus in New York. A large number of NYPD officers were needed to liberate the building but only after Shafik initially refused to let police take action.

Shafik said that her resignation was effective immediately and that today was her last day, complaining that the situation that she helped foster took “a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community.”

“Over the summer, I have been able to reflect and have decided that my moving on at this point would best enable Columbia to traverse the challenges ahead,” she said. “I am making this announcement now so that new leadership can be in place before the new term begins.”

Shafik revealed that she has been approached by far-left British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government to “chair a review of the government’s approach to international development and how to improve capability.”

“I am very pleased and appreciative that this will afford me the opportunity to return to work on fighting global poverty and promoting sustainable development, areas of lifelong interest to me,” she added. “It also enables me to return to the House of Lords to reengage with the important legislative agenda put forth by the new UK government.”

Starmer’s approval rating has plummeted amid his tyrannical response to protests in his country over how mass immigration is ruining the country. Starmer is so extreme that his government is arresting people for complaining about mass migration on social media, posting videos that increase anti-migrant sentiment, and British police have threatened to charge American citizens for posting videos of what is happening and warning against mass migration.
