Donald Trump refuses to participate in the second televised debate with Joe Biden over the November presidential election in the U.S., to maintain the virtual format announced this Thursday morning by the bipartisan commission that organizes them.
“I will not waste my time in a virtual debate. This is not a debate, ”he announced in an interview with Fox Business Network.
The commission had made it official about an hour ago that the next debate between Trump and Biden, Republican and Democratic candidates for the White House, would take place in a “virtual” format. The incumbent President, recovering from the covid-19 in the White House, after spending several days in a hospital, took a short time to close the door on that possibility.
Donald Trump announced a week ago via Twitter that he contracted the disease. Biden had already said that the debate should not happen “if he [Trump] still have covid “. Despite the diagnosis, Trump maintained an enthusiastic speech regarding the confrontation with Joe Biden.” It will be great, “wrote the 45th President of the United States, this Tuesday, on Twitter.
The duel was scheduled for October 15th, the Thursday of next week. Candidates should now debate “remotely”, from “separate locations”, while the moderator and participants / audience would be in Miami, as originally planned.
