"I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. It’s not what debating is all about. ... It’s ridiculous," Trump said during an interview on Fox Business. axios.com/trump-biden-de…
Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, who also tested positive for coronavirus, said in a statement that the campaign will "pass on this sad excuse to bail out Joe Biden and do a rally instead." axios.com/trump-biden-de…
Stepien also claimed without evidence that Trump "will have posted multiple negative tests prior to the debate," which has never been publicly confirmed by the president's doctors. axios.com/trump-biden-de…
Stepien says Trump would be willing to push each debate by a week to Oct. 22 and Oct. 29. axios.com/trump-biden-de…
The Biden campaign swiftly rejected the Trump campaign's proposal to move the debates, saying "Trump's erratic behavior does not allow him to rewrite the calendar, and pick new dates of his choosing." axios.com/biden-trump-to…
