‘She was my everything’: Cape Coral father of teen murdered and dismembered speaks outRestaurant owner remembers local who died in Matlacha crash
Credit: CBS News. President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will not participate in the second presidential debate with Joe Biden after the Commission on Presidential Debates said the event will be held virtually due to the President’s positive coronavirus diagnosis. “I am not going to do a virtual debate,” Trump said on Fox Business. “I am not going to waste my time on a virtual debate.” Trump’s comment throws into question the second debate after the commission took the significant step to wholly remake the contest between the two candidates. The move was seen as needed by members of the debate commission given the uncertainty around the President’s health. “The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which the candidates would participate from separate remote locations,” the commission said in a statement. “The town meeting participants and the moderator, Steve Scully, Senior Executive Producer & Political Editor, C-SPAN Networks, will be located at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County in Miami, Florida. The White House Pool will provide coverage of the second presidential debate.” The second presidential debate will be held virtually Oct. 15, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced Thursday morning in the wake of President Donald Trump’s positive test for COVID-19 last week. Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris debated in person on Wednesday night, albeit separated by a plexiglass partition. Trust WINK News for updates.
