Giuliani: 'No reason to delay' second Trump-Biden debate

Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney and an adviser to his debate preparations, said Monday there is “no reason to delay” next week’s forum with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden — even though Trump remains hospitalized with Covid-19.

In an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” the former New York mayor said “it’s very possible” the upcoming town hall-style event will proceed as planned on Oct. 15 if Trump “keeps making progress” in his fight against the coronavirus.

“The doctors assume that by a certain time, he’s going to be in condition. I assume he’s going to be in condition by then to do it. Can’t see any reason why he wouldn’t. And there’s no reason to delay,” Giuliani said.

“There’s only two more left,” he added, referring to the remaining pair of presidential debates. “They’re enormously valuable to the American people. And I think he’ll make every effort to make it. I’m certain he will.”

1. Zoom. Where the moderator will have automatic mute.

[lagomorph777]

28. Yes.

If Biden agrees to be in the same room with COVIDIOT In Chief, I will be extremely disappointed in his judgment.

[TomCADem]

29. This. Welcome to Our World

Let them both do the debate by Teams or Zoom. Trump wants to show that he can relate, well welcome to our world.

[Jamesyu]

2. My guess Giuliani is lying

no one recovers from covid in that short amount of time in his age group.

[Turbineguy]

3. If Biden starts taking

medical advice from Giuliani, we may as well just vote for trump.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. No, just no. No Biden in the same room with Trump. Zoom them together if you must, but no

spreading of COVID. This is a non-starter in my mind, and I hope the Biden campaign sees it the same.

[soothsayer]

5. He will either still be on his manic steroids, spouting gibberish

Or going through horrible withdrawals from them where he falls asleep during. Bring it on!

[C_U_L8R]

6. No reason at all except prudent health guidelines

Keep taunting the virus, Rudy. By the look of things, you may be next in line

[Voltaire2]

7. I agree. I want to see the bloviated wheezer get through 90 minutes without oxygen.

They will cancel. Biden should insist on having the debate.

[Walleye]

8. Rudy, the American people didn't think it was enormously valuable

[jalan48]

9. There wasn't a first "debate". WTF is he talking about? Are we supposed to forgot about

Trump's actions during the first encounter and pretend all is normal now?

[DFW]

10. Bring. It. On.

Trump will sound and look like absolute shit. The contrast will make the Kennedy-Nixon debates look like a duel of equals.

[BamaRefugee]

12. Your post my thoughts exactly!

[saidsimplesimon]

16. I agree with you.

[marble falls]

23. That sweaty forehead and five o'clock shadow plus his nervouness murdered him at the polls.

[Renew Deal]

11. It should happen in person if he's not contagious.

Not so sure about that. If he is contagious, it should be rescheduled. Or they can go remote if he's up to it.

[Captain Zero]

36. Do we trust what the humpers will tell us about his virus status?? I don't and I won't.

They lie all the time.

[JenniferJuniper]

13. Have we even had a medical update on the POS today?

[deurbano]

17. I heard 3pm ET. (Not that it will necessarily be on time...or remotely accurate.)

[TomIrish]

14. 0. Giuliani: 'No reason to delay' second Trump-Biden debate

I may be mistaken but I believe Trump will still be shedding the Covid-19 virus well after his period of quarantine has ended. If that's correct then his presence in a debate will pose a serious health risk to anyone present. Particularly anyone not wearing a mask. Shouldn't this decide whether there are further debates at all? Shouldn't the Commission on Elections take this into account?

[MineralMan]

15. How you feeling, Rudy? You OK?

[marble falls]

25. Poor Rudy. Ain't been relevant since September 2000.

[Lord Ludd]

30. Are you referring to 9/11/01?

"America's Mayor" had the bright idea of installing the city's Emergency Command Center (or whatever it was called) in WTC 7 before the attacks. He thought it would be safe there.

[marble falls]

33. See what I mean? He ain't been relevant!

[durablend]

18. Crank up the ads again Joe!

He's either not that sick or he actually was faking it.

[qazplm135]

19. so now he's going to risk infecting voters?

Bold move Cotton.

[David__77]

20. If it's to occur, it's I think it should be in-person.

On a stage, with an audience asking questions.

[rickyhall]

21. STFU, Giully, please.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Incumbency gains buoyancy if they can infect Joe Biden

This debate should never take place in person. Trump is as good as Typhoid Mary at this point, and for the foreseeable future.

So they will try to paint Biden as chicken for not wanting to debate.

And notice the rush ... no sense in waiting. This is softening up for a rush to judgment on Election Day.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. Their only hope is to kill Biden with the virus.

Don't fall for it, Team Biden/Harris.

[marble falls]

26. The campaign strategy of a desperate candidate. I can smell the cow flop from here.

[appalachiablue]

27. Remote only: no way Joe gets in the same space, pls.

[Lord Ludd]

31. Joe should walk onstage in a hazmat suit. nt

[tclambert]

32. Rudy's afraid Trump might die before the debate if they don't hurry.

Don't worry, Rudy. I'm sure if Trump dies of the coronavirus, he will just rise up again three days later.

[idziak4ever1234]

34. He must not have watched the first one.

[Captain Zero]

35. If trump is still shedding the virus, I say NO.

If the virus has cleared his system then maybe.
How will we know they are not lying when they say the virus has cleared his sytem?? hmmmm?
