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.

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

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.

It doesn't mean the campaigning will be shorter, just that everything will further turn into attack ads on incumbents

How well did that work out for them this time? Trump was whining about all the attack ads they did on the incumbent.

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

Both Trump and Vance are scared of words!

DarkDecay@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

But only because they don't understand them

But… the article says he did commit?

dohpaz42@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

Article has since been updated.

Did you not read the article?

sxan@midwest.social · 4 pts · 2y

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.

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