Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden says he will let science guide the decisions for safety procedures at future presidential debates.
Biden was asked what kind of safety measures he would like to see at the next presidential debate — if Trump wants to proceed as scheduled.
“Listen to the science,” Biden said on Monday. “If scientists say that it’s safe… then I think that’s fine.”
He added, “I’ll do whatever the experts say is appropriate for me to do.”
When asked if he would like to see plexiglass installed on the stage, Biden said, “I’m not an expert on it but I think we should be very cautious.”

Biden’s comments come days after Trump revealed that he tested positive for the virus, as IJR reported. After he revealed his positive test result, Trump was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for observation.
The president’s positive test result added an extra layer of uncertainty to the presidential debate schedule. The next presidential debate is scheduled for Oct. 15, which would be exactly two weeks after the president received a positive test result.
