Now Playing(Oct. 8) President Donald Trump said he will skip next week’s debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden if it’s not in-person, saying he’ll instead hold live rallies as polls show him headed for a possible defeat.
Trump’s comments Thursday came moments after the Commission on Presidential Debates said that the Oct. 15 town hall-style forum in Miami -- the second of three presidential debates -- would be conducted virtually as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus. Trump said the panel was trying “to protect Biden” by canceling the in-person debate.
“No I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate,” Trump said in a telephone interview with Fox Business Thursday morning. “That’s not what debating’s about.”
Trump and several of his aides are recovering from Covid-19, after regularly holding events and meetings without masks or social distancing.
