Tim Walz prepares for JD Vance debate with Pete Buttigieg as stand-in

Vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is preparing to debate Ohio Sen. JD Vance on CBS News in less than two weeks. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is standing in for Vance during Walz's preparations, according to a Harris campaign official. Robby Mook, manager for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, joins "America Decides" to discuss.

Let's not forget. Not ling ago Vance declared Trump "Americas Hitler" He can't take that back after its been published..

It's a pity Walz has to waste time with a hollow man. Believes nothing, stands for nothing, unqualified conman. Vote Democrat.

JD Vance should be easy to expose; dude has more baggage than an airport.

Its going to be one delicious, historic debate. I wouldn't want to be weird Mr. Vance.

[traildoggy]

In all of politics JD Vance is perhaps uniquely positioned in his determination and ability to demonstrate what a terrible person he is.

Nah. I'm waiting for Pete Buttitieg vs. JD Vance. Now that would have been TV gold 👌👌

[wblairosborniii]

Do not like Vance BUT no denial he is a very clever man. The lies will come just packaged with a different bow.

[glennelbey]

Wouldn't a rock be a better stand in?

I think Vance will lose either way. Vance won't take the bait like Trump did but then the Big Tangerine won't like being upstaged. Then Mari-Lardo will have to take his VP down a few pegs in some manner. Ok, now I'm going to go eat a cat or something. Just weird!

Vance was a Marine for 4 years and graduate from Yale Law, but he's been on the Senate for less than 2 years and has no other Gov. experience, just private sector work as a lawyer. Dude is the definition of a JV player and if Trump should win the election and something happens to the old guy, JD would be president. At least Palin had a decade of Government experience when she ran for the job. When Vance speaks, there is no confidence. He really is better off skipping.

Fast fact: about 10 members of Tim Walz family, including his own brother, have endorsed Trump!

[donothatethemessenger]

Is J D Vance debating as J D Vance or one of the multiple other names he has used?

[lindabingham]

That's GREAT! I hope Pete can dumb it down enough.

[idicula]

I seem to remember LBJ volunteered as a teacher in Texas an that’s where he discoverer his empathy for people on a lower economic status and especially migrants, and Tim Walz brings that energy, only I hope he never says bunghole.

[Dhhvhjbcghbbb]

Oh this is gonna be good!😂 Walz is going to crush him!😆

[sangmoon]

Surveys after the VP debate between Pence and Harris showed no change. VP debates are like the ads in Youtube videos - something happening on periphery of your awareness and quickly forgotten. After all, these two are competing to be invisible man for the next four years.

HIPAA is a Federal Law. It means you have the right to a private medical procedure. Abortion is a medical procedure.

Not misinformation, but DISinformation. Institutional lies are illegal. Truth in Advertising! Revoke bail; to jail! NOW!!

[wryltxw]

How does Vance wife stay silent in such level of hate?

[Jandipark]

Pete would be the one to go to debate vance
