Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced Thursday that he will participate in an ABC News town hall forum in Philadelphia on Oct. 15, the date originally intended for the second presidential debate.

The announcement came after President Donald Trump said that he would not take part in a virtual debate, as proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) with the aim being “to protect the health and safety of all involved,” instead requesting for the debate to be postponed to Oct. 22.
