Giuliani: 'No reason to delay' second Trump-Biden debate [View all]

Source: Politico

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.”
