Has a POTUS debate been canceled in the last 50 years?

I knew Trump didn't want a zoom meeting; but why did the Biden camp refuse to debate in person?

The debate commission proposed an in-person debate with the candidates separated by plexiglass to prevent the spread of Covid, but one of the campaign managers were worried that their candidate would just lick the glass.

So the debate commission canceled.

I don’t know why anyone needs joe to show up anyway. He’s campaigning on “elect me (frick around) and find out.”

If I was in the Trump camp, I would set up a stage just like a debate would and do a hour and a half long Q&A (with someone in a moderator chair) giving video taped answers that Biden has given ... like on fracking, on packing the court, etc... then have trump share what that would mean for the country. That way Biden could not lie all night and have a moderator cover for him. Just doing a rally is a waste because the main people watching and listening are already going to vote for him.

It’s very simple.


The President chickened out.

It appears that Joe is spending all his campaign money on TV commercials. I am seeing 5 Biden commercials for every 1 President Trump commercial.

Honestly, that’s a fantastic idea. Have his own town hall, let people send in questions, easy W

The bigger frickery is that Biden's team now wants push the town hall to October 22nd and scrap the 3rd real debate.

I doubt they debate any more.

Yep. Totally his style. His whole career has been defined by how he chickens out.

Great. DJT shouldn't have to put up with biased moderators. He and Pence will get more mileage out of rallys and having attendees get like-minded supporters out to vote.

Chris Wallace said Trump made a big mistake cancelling. They wanted another set up not a fair debate



Who is the moderator for the next one?
