Biden to participate in ABC town hall Oct. 15 in lieu of Trump debate

Source: The Hill

Democratic nominee Joe Biden will take part in a town hall forum hosted by ABC News next Thursday on the night of what was supposed to be the second presidential debate.

The former vice president will instead participate in an event in Philadelphia moderated by ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos.

The announcement indicates that the second presidential debate will no longer take place as planned Oct. 15 after President Trump balked at the decision to make it a virtual event for safety reasons.

Townhall to the moderated by George Stephanopoulos
In lieu of the debate with Pres. Trump scheduled for October 15, Dem presidential candidate Biden will conduct a Townhall in Philadelphia. The debate commission had proposed a virtual debate, but that format was rejected by Pres. Trump who has said that he would conduct a rally instead.

The Townhall meeting will be moderated by ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

The site for the Trump rally has not been decided.

Both candidates are now scheduled to meet face-to-face on October 22 and again on October 29 before the November 3 election.

No more of Trump's unclear answers on whether he will show and no more insane demands.
