On the night of what was supposed to be the second presidential debate, it appears that Democratic nominee Joe Biden will instead take part in a town hall forum hosted by ABC News.
Biden said Thursday he will instead participate in an event in Philadelphia moderated by ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos.
The announcement indicates that the second presidential debate will no longer take place as planned Oct. 15 after President Trump balked at the decision to make it a virtual event for safety reasons.
Earlier Thursday, The Commission on Presidential Debates announced that the Oct. 15 town hall-style debate in Miami would take place virtually, with Biden and Trump participating from separate locations.
