Vice President Kamala Harris called Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, whom former President Trump chose as his running mate Monday, and congratulated him after the announcement.

"Vice President Harris reached out to Senator Vance and left a message to congratulate him on his selection, welcome him to the race and express her hope that the two can meet in the vice presidential debate proposed by CBS News," a Biden campaign official told Fox News.

After months of teasing his pick, Trump revealed Vance as his running mate selection in a Truth Social post on the opening afternoon of the Republican National Convention.

In May, Trump accepted a vice presidential debate on behalf of his future running mate to be hosted on Fox News. However, the Biden campaign has only been willing to do the debate on CBS.

While no vice presidential debate has been confirmed yet, in the case that Vance and Harris do face off, it may be the vice president's worst-case scenario. President Biden and former President Trump agreed to two presidential debates. The first was hosted by CNN on June 27 and the second will be hosted by ABC on Sept. 10.
