DONALD Trump has sensationally PULLED OUT of the second presidential debate after officials ruled it had to be held virtually.
The Commission on Presidential Debates said the change was vital to “protect the health and safety of all”, adding the debate was due to be held in the form of a town meeting.
But shortly after the announcement the President told Fox Business “I’m not doing to do a virtual debate,” branding it “a waste of time” and adding “they cut you off whenever they want”.
Moderator host, C-Span’s Steve Scully, and the debate audience were due to be located in Miami , Florida, with Trump taking part from the White House.
The move was partly to remove any concerns that President Trump could still be infectious from his ongoing coronavirus battle and pose a risk to Biden, audience members, or debate staff.
