Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is planning to attend the next presidential debate as long as the Commission on Presidential Debates implements safety measures.
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield if the campaign is prepared to accept any changes to the rules.
“We hope that they’re going to put in place every adjustment necessary to ensure that it’s fully safe,” Bedingfield said.
She added, “We send President Trump our best. We hope that he is well and able to debate. If he is, Joe Biden will certainly be there.”

She explained the campaign believes the debate should move forward as scheduled.
