Donald Trump refuses to take part in virtual TV debates

Donald Trump rejected a suggestion to hold the next presidential debate virtually, despite his ongoing fight with the highly infectious COVID-19.


The Commission on Presidential Debates earlier announced that it would change the format of the debate to an online virtual one, in light of Trump"s coronavirus diagnosis.


“I’m not going to do a virtual debate”, - Trump told Fox Business News, adding that it was “not acceptable to us”.


He accused the commission, which is nonpartisan, of acting to “protect” Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
