The second debate between President Donal Trump and former American Vice President, Joe Biden, will be virtual, with both candidates appearing from separate remote locations, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced, on Thursday.
This came nearly a week after President Trump announced he had tested positive for COVID-19.
The debate, scheduled for October 15, “will take the form of a town meeting,” organisers said.
Trump’s announcement of his positive COVID-19 test had thrown the status of all future 2020 debates in doubt. The debate between Vice President Mike Pence and California Sen. Kamala Harris went on as planned Wednesday night with on-stage dividers between the candidates after both had tested negative for the coronavirus.
