The whipsaw day began with the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates saying the second debate between the presidential candidates would take place virtually amid the fallout from Trump's diagnosis of COVID-19 — a change denounced by the incumbent. "I'm not going to do a virtual debate," Trump said in an interview with Fox Business. The debate comes less than a week after Donald Trump was diagnosed with coronavirus, and in a race between the two oldest presidential candidates in US history. Why is the White House not telling the country that important fact about how this spread made a hot spot of the White House?" Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine react:As Democrats have been hoping & begging for, the Commission on Presidential Debates cancelled in-person debates for the rest of campaign.
