US Election :I Will Not Debate If Trump Still Has Covid-19 – Biden

United States Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden has said that there was no point having a second presidential debate with President Donald Trump if his Covid-19 status remained positive.

Biden made this known during his campaign trail in Pennsylvania.

While the next debate is scheduled to hold on October 15, it may be recalled that the first one had the duo verbally attacking each other’s leadership competence.

THE WHISTLER earlier reported that Trump and his wife, Melania, had contracted the Coronavirus but Trump later departed the Walter Reed Medical Centre where he was being treated for Covid-19.

Consequently, Trump announced that “I am looking forward to the debate on the evening of Thursday, October 15th in Miami. It will be great!”

Meanwhile, the President’s physician, Sean P. Conley, had confirmed that Trump’s health had improved but was yet to announce Trump’s Covid-19 status as of the time of this report.

“He spent most of the afternoon conducting business, and has been up and moving about the medical suite without difficulty.

“While not yet out of the woods, the team remains cautiously optimistic.

“The plan for tomorrow is to continue observation in between doses of Remdesivir, closely monitoring his clinical status while fully supporting his conduct of Presidential duties,” he said in an official statement.

But, on Tuesday night, Biden said the debate should not hold if Trump covid-19 status returned positive.

However, he stressed that he was ready to challenge Trump again if all protocols were observed.

“If he still has COVID, we shouldn’t have a debate.

“I’m not sure what President Trump is all about now. I don’t know what his status is. I’m looking forward to being able to debate him, but I just hope all the protocols are followed,” Biden said.
