China News Agency, Washington, October 9th (Reporter Chen Mengtong) The US Presidential Debate Committee announced in Washington on the 9th that it would cancel the second presidential debate originally scheduled to be held in Miami, Florida on the 15th.

The reason is that the two candidates expressed their positions on the change of this debate to an online format, and each announced an alternative event for the day.

　　A day ago, the committee decided that the second presidential candidate debate would be changed to an online format for epidemic prevention and safety considerations.

But it was immediately rejected by US President Trump.

Biden and the Trump campaign team subsequently fell into a controversy over the agenda of the debate, and ultimately failed to reach an agreement.

On October 5, local time, the polling center of the San Francisco City Hall, California, was open to voters in the 2020 US general election outdoors.

　　"Obviously, there will be no debate on October 15." The committee issued a statement stating that it will turn its attention to preparations for the last presidential candidate debate on October 22.

Both candidates agreed to participate in this debate.

　　White House doctor Sean Conley said on the 8th that Trump had completed the new crown treatment on the same day and is expected to "safely return" to public activities on the 10th.

According to US media reports, Trump plans to hold an event attended by hundreds of people and deliver a speech at the White House on the 10th.

On the 12th, he will also go to Florida to hold a campaign rally.

　　Tim Motaf, the communications director of the Trump campaign, issued a statement on the 9th, saying that Trump is healthy and ready for the debate. "There is no medical reason to prevent the 15th debate in Miami from being held as scheduled." We propose to hold the last two debates on October 22 and 29."

　　Trump campaign manager Bill Stepin also hinted that Trump would rather hold a campaign rally on the 15th than participate in online debates.

　　Democratic presidential candidate Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield issued a statement saying that the dates for the three presidential debates were set as early as June this year, and the Trump team has no right to modify the above dates.

"We look forward to participating in the last debate on the 22nd. This is the latest presidential candidate debate in 40 years."

　　According to the latest arrangements announced by the Biden team, Biden plans to go to Pennsylvania on the 15th to hold a campaign event.

　　The final debate of the US presidential candidates is scheduled to be held in Nashville, Tennessee on the 22nd. NBC African-American anchorwoman Kristen Welker will serve as the host of the debate. (Finish)
