Joe Biden says the second presidential debate should not be held if President Trump is still infected with coronavirus. But the Democratic presidential nominee says that he will base his participation upon recommendations from medical experts.
"Well, I think if he still has Covid, we shouldn't have a debate," Biden told reporters in Maryland."I think we're gonna have to follow very strict guidelines. Too many people have been infected and it's a very serious problem." He continued:"And so I'll be guided by the guidelines of the Cleveland Clinic, and what the docs say is the right thing to do -- if and when he shows up for debate.
But I just hope all the protocols are followed, what's necessary at the time," he said.
