Following the president's COVID-19 diagnosis, the Commission on Presidential Debatesannounced the second presidential debatewould be virtual. It would have maintained its town hall format, but the candidates would participate remotely from separate locations.
Shortly after the announcement, Trump toldFox Newshe wouldn't participate in a virtual debate, saying, "I'm not going to waste my time."
Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Batesresponded to the cancelationby saying it was "shameful that Donald Trump ducked the only debate in which the voters get to ask the questions."
Trump will now appear in a NBC town hall in Miami on Thursday at the same time as Biden's ABC News town hall .
Both candidates have agreed to participate in the third debate, which is scheduled for Oct. 22 and will be moderated by Kristen Welker of NBC News.
