The Republican incumbent, Senator Scott Brown, has accepted a similar invitation and his chat will be scheduled in the near future.
Brown and Warren are engaged in one of the most hotly contested and closely watched US Senate races in the country.
Brown is seeking his first full, six-year Senate term after stunning the Democratic establishment in January 2010 by winning the seat held for nearly a half-century by the late Democrat Edward M. Kennedy.
Warren, a Harvard Law School professor, is making her first foray into elective politics, after working in Washington heading the Congressional Oversight Panel monitoring the TARP program, and setting up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
