After a raucous first debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, the Commission on President Debates (CPD) is making some changes.

In a statement on Wednesday, the commission said, “The Commission on Presidential Debates sponsors televised debates for the benefit of the American electorate.”

“Last night’s debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues,” the statement added.

The commission said it will be “carefully considering” what changes it plans on implementing for the future debate and would “announce those measures shortly.”

Finally, the CPD said is “grateful to Chris Wallace for the professionalism and skill he brought to last night’s debate and intends to ensure that additional tools to maintain order are in place for the remaining debates.”

The debate on Tuesday was the first time Trump and Biden took the stage together to make their case to the American public. However, it quickly devolved into what has been described as an “embarrassment” and a “hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a trainwreck.”

Trump repeatedly spoke over Fox News’ Chris Wallace, who moderated the debate, and interrupted Biden while the former vice president answered questions.

Trump’s interruptions led Biden to quip, “Will you shut up, man?”

Biden also called Trump the “worst president America has ever had” and a “clown.”

After the debate, some suggested that Biden should reconsider appearing for the next debates, but Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris rejected that idea, as IJR reported.

The next presidential debate will take place on Oct. 15 at Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida. It will be moderated by Senior Executive Producer and Political Editor for C-SPAN Steve Scully.
