The Commission on Presidential Debates announced Thursday morning that the second debate between former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump will be virtual.

However, shortly after the change was announced, Trump said he would refuse to participate in an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo.

"I'm not going to do a virtual debate," Trump said Thursday morning. "No, I'm not going to waste my time with a virtual debate."

In light of the president's refusal to debate virtually, Biden will instead participate in an ABC News town hall moderated by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in Philadelphia on Oct. 15, during which he will take questions directly from voters.

Trump’s campaign manager has already announced he’s doing a rally.

Let’s see who gets higher ratings.

Why is Biden coming to “his home state” when he is “up 21 points”?

Good! A virtual debate will be an utter joke, where Trump has even less control of the bull sh*t being flung by ByeDone and the Lefty “moderator!”

Good call Mr. President!

Trump said he would refuse to participate in an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo.

Trump does not want to speak to Maria?

Or are "journalists" hired by ABC really that incompetent in their writing skills?

Does Trump get equal time on the ABC Town Hall?

If not, ABC and the Biden campaign should be fined by the FEC and FCC.

All will be Trump voters in 2016 who will almost unanimously say they're voting for Biden at the end of the town hall. No sarcasm.

Everyone’s mind is already made up.. Cote for 2 effective leaders or some washed up whore and a dementia candidate..

Debates are over rated... I’d rather see action than discussion!

Exactly. The debates should have been in early-to-mid September to be effective.

However, shortly after the change was announced, Trump, in an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, said he would refuse to participate.

Either the ABC writer Does not understand 9th grade English Grammar and composition or this is gaslighting propaganda.

One does not wonder which.
