President Donald Trump plans to attend the debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Oct. 22 despite reports of a late addition of a rule—opposed by his campaign—which would mute each candidates’ microphone to allow his opponent two minutes of uninterrupted response time.
The president “is committed to debating Joe Biden regardless of last minute rule changes from the biased commission in their latest attempt to provide advantage to their favored candidate,” said Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien.
