The battles of the two White House candidates on television are considered extremely important dates in the US election campaign. The first duel turned into a sham last week because incumbent Donald Trump refused to adhere to the rules of the debate. Since then, it has emerged that the President of the United States is fighting a Covid outbreak. This diagnosis could have an impact on the next scheduled television appointment.
The television debate scheduled for next week should be canceled from the perspective of Democratic challenger Joe Biden if Trump has not overcome his Covid-19 disease by then.
The second exchange of blows between the opponents is scheduled for October 15. “I think if you still have Covid, we shouldn’t have a debate,” Biden said Tuesday after a campaign appearance.
In any case, the Democratic presidential candidate in Hagerstown, Maryland, stressed that “very strict guidelines” must be followed. “Too many people have been infected.” You have to listen to what the doctors say. He is still preparing for a debate, “but I just hope all the rules are respected.”
Trump announced his Covid 19 diagnosis last Friday. He and Biden had previously been on stage in the first of three planned television debates Tuesday. It’s unclear whether Trump could have been contagious at this time: The White House and his personal physician Sean Conley have declined to provide information on when the president last had a negative coronavirus test.
More and more people around Trump are getting infected
Trump returned to his official residence from the hospital on Monday. The virus continues to spread in the president’s narrow circle: Stephen Miller, a senior White House adviser, tested positive for the virus on Tuesday. “I’ve been working from home in self-isolation for the past five days and I’ve had negative tests every day through yesterday,” Miller said. “Today I tested positive for Covid-19 and I am in quarantine.”
As a precaution, Trump is working in a makeshift office space in the residence and not in the Oval Office, government officials said. Only four executives had personal access to the president. In addition to Miller, Trump’s close adviser Hope Hicks, White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien, and Republican Senators Mike Lee, Thom Tillis and Ron Johnson are also infected.
