Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden agrees to reschedule debate with rival incumbent President Donald Trump, who has been hospitalized with coronavirus, if necessary. This was announced by the deputy head of Biden's headquarters Keith Bedingfield, reports ABC News.
According to her, the headquarters expects to hold the event as scheduled, October 15. However, “obviously we will adjust to any necessary changes. First of all, everything depends on the health of Trump, whom we wish a speedy recovery, “she said.
The American leader announced a positive test for coronavirus on October 2. His wife Melania Trump was also infected. The President promised to immediately begin treatment and quarantine, but on October 5 he left the hospital and went to meet with his supporters. Later, a doctor from the hospital where Trump is being treated, criticized the action of a high-ranking patient, calling the trip “madness.” According to him, the president ordered his guards to “risk their lives for the theater.”
The first Biden-Trump debate took place on September 29 at the auditorium of Case Western River University in Cleveland, Ohio. The second debate of candidates for the presidency of the American state will be held in Miami, Florida, the third – in Nashville, Tennessee. The US presidential election will take place on November 3.
