CNN: Biden to Take Part in Town Hall Instead of Debate Next Week

‘The Biden campaign wants to see the debate scheduled for October 22nd’

EXCERPT:

SAENZ: "Well, Wolf, after President Trump said that he will not participate in a virtual debate on October 15th, Joe Biden and his campaign went ahead and made other plans, setting up a town hall with ABC News for that very same date. There has been a lot of back and forth today about these debates. Initially, the Biden campaign said that they would participate in a virtual debate, but then once the President voiced his opposition, they decided to go a different route. Now, the Biden campaign wants to see the debate scheduled for October 22nd, which is currently scheduled to be a one-on-one debate between Biden and President Trump, they want to see that debate turned into a town hall. The Trump campaign simply wants the debate to each be pushed back a week, to have one on October 22nd, one on October 29th. But the Biden campaign insists that because the President backed out of that October 15th debate, the October 22nd one should be the final debate.”
