The two were originally scheduled to meet in Miami for the second of three debates in the run-up to the Nov. 3 election.

The organization that hosts the debates, the Commission on Presidential Debates, announced last week that, because Trump had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, the debate would not be held in person but instead would be held virtually with the two men and the moderator in separate locations.

Trump did not want to participate in a virtual debate, so the event was called off.

Over the weekend, White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said the president is no longer a transmission risk and that he has met all the criteria required to discontinue isolation. Conley said Trump had tested negative for the virus “on consecutive days.”

After the debate was canceled, Biden’s campaign announced that he agreed to an offer from ABC News to participate in a town hall-style event to be held in Philadelphia on Thursday (click here for details).
