“Trump immediately responded to the news by rejecting the plan. AP reports he simply said, “I’m not going to do a virtual debate.”The president’s way of saying, ‘Take a hike’.
“The president’s own campaign team then issued a confirmation of his rejection: It read: (Breitbart)“President Trump won the first debate despite a terrible and biased moderator in Chris Wallace, and everybody knows it. For the swamp creatures at the Presidential Debate Commission to now rush to Joe Biden’s defense by unilaterally canceling an in-person debate is pathetic. That’s not what debates are about or how they’re done. “Here are the facts: President Trump will have posted multiple negative tests prior to the debate, so there is no need for this unilateral declaration. The safety of all involved can easily be achieved without canceling a chance for voters to see both candidates go head to head. We’ll pass on this sad excuse to bail out Joe Biden and do a rally instead.“The change in the nature of the exchange has been pinned on the president’s diagnosis of COVID-19. “The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates made the announcement a week before the two were scheduled to face off again. “The candidates will instead “participate from separate remote locations,” while the town hall participants and moderator Steve Scully remain in Miami, the commission said.”

“For his part, Biden told reporters in Pennsylvania he was “looking forward to being able to debate him” but said, “We’re going to have to follow very strict guidelines.” “The Biden team then made this announcement:Uncle Joe has graduated from being at the top of his class at law school to knowing more about Covid-19 than the world famous medics at Walter Reed Medical Center. “Virtual” is where the “non-partisan” Commission on Presidential Debates is taking what no so long ago used to be in-person presidential debates: Virtual debates, handpicked audiences who are told no booing, no cheering, no applause; handpicked Democrat, talking head ‘monitors’, bound to be praised for a “great job” by other talking head would-be ‘monitors’ of the same political persuasion the next day. The Commission on Presidential Debates don’t check on presidential debaters who may show up wired —and worse provide no guarantees that staffers and attendees will be checked for the status of their health in terms of Coronavirus before being let in to the venue. Something rank stinks about the 2020 Election Presidential debates, and keeping them virtual will never blow the stench away. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is not virtual and never will be. He’s exactly what Biden will never be: TRUE GRIT REAL.“Vice President Biden looks forward to speaking directly to the American people and comparing his plan for bringing the country together and building back better with Donald Trump’s failed leadership on the coronavirus that has thrown the strong economy he inherited into the worst downturn since the Great Depression.”
