Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien called for the Oct. 15 town hall-style debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden to be delayed to Oct. 22, after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the matchup would be held virtually.

Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield suggested the Biden camp doesn’t support postponing the second debate, saying the former vice president “[looks] forward to participating in the final debate, scheduled for October 22, which already is tied for the latest debate date in 40 years.”
