"Ramaswamy's Shift: Trump's Transformation Prompts Debate Dodge and Interview Plan"

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has changed his stance on former President Donald Trump, stating that he has "no problem" with Trump skipping the first few primary debates. This is a departure from Ramaswamy's previous expectation of Trump's presence on the debate stage. Ramaswamy's campaign clarified that his recent comments are not a departure from his previous statement. Trump has not confirmed his participation in the first GOP debate, and he has refused to sign the pledge to support the GOP's eventual nominee.
