President Donald Trump does not want to debate Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden virtually.
The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) announced on Thursday that the second presidential debate scheduled for Oct. 15 will be virtual “to protect the health and safety of all involved.”
“The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which the candidates would participate from separate remote locations,” the CPD said in a press release.
However, the president is not having it.
He said during a phone call interview on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” Thursday morning, “The commission changed the debate style and that’s not acceptable to us. I beat him easily in the first debate.”
“I’m not going to do a virtual debate,” Trump continued, adding, “I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate.”
He also claimed:
“They’re trying to protect Biden. Everybody is.”

Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien also said in a statement, “President Trump won the first debate despite a terrible and biased moderator in Chris Wallace, and everybody knows it.”
