[JD Vance](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/jd-vance) has refused to commit to a vice presidential debate against Tim Walz on CBS News – while his Democratic rival has defiantly told him “see you on October 1”.
On Wednesday, CBS News invited Walz and Vance to participate in a debate in New York City, offering them four dates: September 17, 24, October 1 and 8.
Walz was quick off the mark to confirm he is up for the debate and picking a date, posting on X: “See you on October 1, JD.”
Someone should bait him with a couch to drag him to the debate.

He’s afraid. Plain and simple. And I would be, too.
Vance has changed his viewpoints so many times he can hardly remember what he’s “supposed” to say anymore.
I haven’t heard one thing from him that I believe.
And why does he hate women so much? The dude keeps piling on and doubling down on these misogynistic viewpoints that are wildly controversial and unpopular.
He’s performing for a party of 1. And that 1 has dementia and is losing control.
Coach Walz is gonna wipe the floor with him

Walz could go with a: “If you want to compare service records, I’ll see you on Oct. 1st. If not, then everyone knows who really chickens out….”

I’ll gladly take 1+ hour of the Tim Walz show without that weirdo on the stage

>“I strongly suspect we’re going to be there on October 1 but we’re not going to do one of these fake debates where they don’t actually have an audience there, where they don’t actually set the parameters in a right way where you can have a good exchange of ideas.”
TIL you can’t have a real debate without an audience present.

This isn’t acceptable behavior from an alpha male

After Walz was announced, Vance said he “hoped” he’d be able to debate him. Why would you use such noncommittal language unless you were looking for a way to weasel out of it from day 1? “I can’t fucking wait” is the only correct response.

Vance is a coward.

Question – as of what date will Trump no longer be able to replace Vance?
I doubt he’ll do so as he hates to show weakness, but I’ll feel better once we’re past the point of no return.

His Yale debate club only debated in drag, so that’s a shame he won’t show up.

TBH, Vance might get replaced before the debate, whether the rules allow it or not.

Vance is such a weird little coward

I’m from Minnesota. Walz has too much charisma and is used to being around normal people and can read the room. Vance will look silly trying to defend his 17th century policies and Walz will dunk on him all day.

For right now, Vance participating in a debate is speculative fiction… it’ll be real news when that last part of the Dem comment proves to be prophetic…
– an idiot like Vance stands no chance as he simply can not bully Walz like he is used to. Will be fun to watch Vance lies being called out to his face on national TV

JD Vance is the Steven Miller with more eyeliner less charisma.
Edit: Added more eyeliner, lol

I think it will be really hard for Vance to face Walz after the stolen valor lies. Even though Vance is married, he gives off heavy incel energy, and I think he will not hold up well in the face of Walz’ confident, masculine demeanor, especially when he has to explain the stolen valor accusations to his face, which you know will happen.
It’s like a recruit badmouthing the drill sergeant behind his back and then getting caught. I can’t wait.

>“In other words we’re not going to walk into a fake news media garbage debate. We’re going to do a real debate and if CBS agrees to it, then certainly we’ll do it.”
These are some real macho tough guys. “Only if you guys promise not to be mean to me”

Every statement I’ve seen from Vance has looked defensive and agitated. I don’t think he has the courage or skill to stand up and debate Walz. Unfit for office.

They should put a sofa on stage while they debate😂

Is it because there aren’t couches on stage? I swear this guy reminds me of Tek Night from the boys

JD has prior engagements, Ikea is starting a massive October sale that week.

These jerkoffs think they’re entitled to literally everything. They refuse to participate in the process without corrupting it, and then after it’s over they’ll refuse to accept any result that doesn’t go their way. They’re children.

Walz isn’t mad at Vance; he’s just disappointed.
