The Trump campaign called for the presidential debate schedule to return to normal after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced it would go virtual for the second event, due to President Donald Trump’s doctor writing that Trump should be clear to return to normal activities on Saturday, ten days after his COVID-19 diagnosis.
“President Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, says the President will be medically cleared for ‘safe return to public engagements’ by Saturday, five full days before the originally scheduled debate in Miami on October 15. There is therefore no medical reason why the Commission on Presidential Debates should shift the debate to a virtual setting, postpone it, or otherwise alter it in anyway,” Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement Thursday evening.
