Donald Trump and Joe Biden’s second television debate on the US presidential election scheduled for next week has been officially canceled. The opponents will meet as scheduled on October 22, as announced by the organizers on Friday. Both parties have agreed for this date.
The planning for the October 15 debate was confused when President Trump contracted Covid-19. The commission announced Thursday that it would hold the debate online instead of bringing the candidates together in a single room. Trump later canceled his participation. As a result, challenger Joe Biden set up question time with voters for the day to be televised. The commission that organized the television debates pointed out that the candidates had other plans.
Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, announced Thursday that the president could return to public appointments on Saturday. The White House has yet to release any information on whether it will prove that Trump is no longer contagious.
Trump tested positive for the corona virus on Thursday of last week and made the infection public on Friday night. Then he was treated in the hospital for three days. The 74-year-old returned to the White House on Monday.
Trump’s personal physician, Sean Conley, said Thursday he looked forward to “the president’s safe return to public engagements” on Saturday. The Covid 19 therapy had given him “very good”, Trump’s values were “stable”. However, experts have expressed doubts as to whether the president, who has been treated with strong drugs, should return to daily political life so quickly, also because of the possible risk of contagion for others.
Trump wants to speak to his followers in the White House
However, Trump wants to return to the direct election campaign this Saturday. The White House announced that he would speak at a “peaceful protest for law and order” on the south meadow of his residence. The US media had previously reported that some 2,000 people had been invited. Trump wants to contact her from the balcony of the White House. On Monday there is a concert in Florida. The state could be decisive in the November 3 elections.
Biden criticized Trump’s decision to campaign again. “Good luck. I wouldn’t go unless you have a mask and can keep your distance,” the Democrat told reporters in Nevada, where he was campaigning.
The first television match at the end of September was chaos. The two applicants insulted each other multiple times, and Trump in particular had repeatedly interrupted Biden. Just days later, the president went public with his corona infection.
