While speaking with reporters as he boarded a plane in Delaware on Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said a debate shouldn’t happen if Trump still has the virus.
“I think if he still has COVID, we shouldn’t have a debate,” the former vice president said. “We’re going to have to follow very strict guidelines. Too many people have been infected. It’s a very serious problem.” He added that he was “looking forward to being able to debate” his opponent, but that “I don’t know what his status is”, since the president last tested positive on Thursday. Despite Trump’s diagnosis, the president m wrote on Twitter a few days ago that he too is looking forward to the second debate.
While we wait to see what happens, Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris, Biden’s running mate, are set to face off in their only debate of the 2020 cycle. Pence, who has been near a number of people who have contracted the virus, has tested negative for the virus several times in the last few days so has Harris.
