Every Friday, our correspondent in the United States reviews the highlights of the American campaign.
At 25 days of the election, the contamination of Donald Trump shakes the campaign and threatens the second debate.
The US president is now back to the wall, nearly 10 points behind Joe Biden in the polls.
From our correspondent in the United States,
A second virtual face-to-face, canceled or postponed?
Thursday night was the big blur.
The debates committee announced in the morning that with Donald Trump's infection with the coronavirus, next Thursday's duel would be virtual as a precaution.
Donald Trump refused, explaining that he did not want to "waste his time" by webcam, and asked for a postponement of a week.
The commission said no, and the Trump campaign was still forcing in the evening to organize an "in real life" duel on October 15 validated by the doctors.
Joe Biden could finally answer voters' questions on his own in a special broadcast by ABC while Donald Trump would hold a MAGA meeting.
For Donald Trump, time is running out.
The US president is down sharply in the polls this week, and is now 10 points behind Joe Biden, who is leading the race in Florida, Pennsylvania and even Arizona.
In short, it is Donald Trump who needs two more debates to reverse the trend.
But if the 2nd falls into the water, it would only have a faint hope debate on October 22.
