Vice President JD Vance was slated to participate in a town hall event with CBS News next week. That has now been postponed.
Vance was slated to sit down with CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil as part of the network’s Things That Matter series. The event was scheduled to take place next week, with the broadcast airing on Saturday, March 14th at 8 PM ET.
However, following military action in Iran, the Vice President has postponed his appearance.
In a statement, CBS News remained hopeful that the discussion could be revived at a later date.
“CBS News Things That Matter: A Town Hall with Vice President JD Vance, originally scheduled for next week, has been postponed by the vice president due to the war,” the network’s statement read. “A new date and more details to come soon.”
Vance was slated to be the second guest in the series. Previously, Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) sat for a conversation helmed by Norah O’Donnell. That followed a standalone town hall with Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk. CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss led that event.
