On Thursday morning, the Presidential Debate Commission announced that Donald Trump and Joe Biden will participate in the second debate from «different» locations — as part of a precautionary measure.
However, President Trump, who is still struggling with the coronavirus, told Fox Business that he would not take part in this case.
“I'm not going to waste my time on virtual debates. — said the incumbent president — This is not how it works. Nonsense. «
Trump's campaign manager Bill Stepien, whose coronavirus test also tested positive, added in a statement that they would «ignore this sad cry from Joe Biden for help» and would prefer to rally.
According to the CDC, a person with a coronavirus can remain contagious for up to 10 days after symptoms have cleared. Neither the White House nor Trump's doctors have yet provided information on when the president's COVID-19 test was last negative.
