JD Vance won’t commit to VP debate – after Tim Walz tells him ‘see you on October 1’

www.independent.co.uk JD Vance finally commits to two VP debates with CBS and CNN against Tim Walz

JD Vance initially refused to commit to a debate – in a move that echoed his running mate Donald Trump’s back-and-forth with Kamala Harris

The "stolen valor" guy is a coward.

JD Vance pullout? Surprise surprise
- He's usually partial to hide-a-beds but I could see him interested in pullouts too.

he's probably hiding between his lover's cushions.
- I hear he's been cheating on it with a futon.
  
  When's he going to settle down with a nice chesterfield from a good home?
  
  Yeah, it's a guy from the ottoman empire
- That would be Peter Thiel's ass cheeks.

Maybe James Vance will find the courage to debate Walz if he shows up as the always fabulous Sofa Lauren.
- I thought we all agreed on Anita Cushion
  
  Wait until everyone hears about Chester Field, his Canadian fling

Ok, yeah, looks like article was updated after OP posted. Kind of shitty the author didn’t explicitly state that in the article, especially since they changed the headline.

  Well at least maybe we’re going to get the debate now!

Maybe JD knows he will replaced by then?
- I thought it's too late for that now.
- Let's hope candidate shuffling isn't a new trend.
  
  Let's hope it is. There's no reason to be campaigning for 2 years prior to the election if the candidates might change anyway.

I finally realized this guy's name reminds me of some in house menswear brand at Sears or K-Mart or some other department store that suffered and wheezed and whimpered before going out of business.
- JD Vance Suspenders for Men & Boys

Just agree to have couches for each debater.
- No, then Vance will become a master debater

Just schedule the debate, and have something like this ready for if he no-shows:

Oh he doesn't want to get smacked down by smaj.

Both Trump and Vance are scared of words!
- But only because they don't understand them

But… the article says he did commit?
- Article has since been updated.
- Did you not read the article?
  
  I did. The article is a shit show of confusing timelines, but the very first paragraph says:
  JD Vance has finally committed to two vice presidential debates on CBS News and CNN against his Democratic rival Tim Walz.
  That's the least ambiguously worded sentence in that piece, and it says he's agreed to them.

On brand

I just heard JD Vance campaign will only agree to the debate if it takes place in a Brown Squirrel Furniture.... For reasons.
