Despite assurances from his campaign over the weekend that he will be present for the next presidential debate on October 15th, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Wednesday that he could skip the contest if President Donald Trump is still suffering from COVID-19.

“Well, I think if he still has COVID, we shouldn’t have a debate,” Biden told media during a stop in Maryland. “I think we’re gonna have to follow very strict guidelines. Too many people have been infected and it’s a very serious problem.”
