Republican Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois said Friday he would accept an invitation to debate Democrat Tammy Duckworth on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer."

"I'd be happy to come on your show to do a live debate with @Tammy4Congress," Walsh wrote on Twitter.

Shortly before Walsh's tweet, CNN's Wolf Blitzer was interviewing Duckworth on his show and invited both candidates to take part in a live debate on the program.

"We would love to invite you and Mr. Walsh to come on and do a good, serious, substantive debate, no name-calling, no nasty words on either sides, just the substantive, important issues," Blitzer said.
Responding, Duckworth said: "I think that would be great too, Wolf."
