President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will take part in simultaneous town halls on rival TV networks on Oct. 15, in lieu of a debate after organizers scuttled the event.

Trump will travel to Miami to participate in a town hall hosted by NBC News, the network announced on Oct. 14. It will take place outdoors at the Pérez Art Museum. The president and Savannah Guthrie, a “Today” show anchor who will be moderator, will be at least 12 feet apart and all audience members will be socially distanced and required to wear masks.
