The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced on Oct. 8 that the second debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden will be held virtually, with the president saying he would not take part in a virtual debate.
The commission said the debate, scheduled for Oct. 15, would take the form of a town meeting in which the candidates will take part remotely from separate locations, with the aim being “to protect the health and safety of all involved.” The debate moderator, Steve Scully of C-SPAN Networks, as well as town meeting participants, will be on location at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida.
