Joe Biden "looks forward to speaking directly to the American people and comparing his plan for bringing the country together," his campaign says after the CPD announces that the debate will be virtual, and President Trump says he won't participate.
"The safety of all involved can easily be achieved without canceling a chance for voters to see both candidates go head to head," Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, who has also tested positive for coronavirus, says of CPD to hold virtual debate.
“No presidential candidate is required to debate. Jimmy Carter refused to debate during the first debate in 1980. It is up to the individual candidate," Commission on Presidential Debates Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf tells @NBCNews - @PeterAlexander
“We don’t know what the president’s gonna do; he changes his mind every second," Joe Biden says of President Trump asserting that he won't participate in virtual debate. Biden made the comments before his flight to Phoenix for campaign events Thursday.
