US President Donald Trump arrives on campaign travel at Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, New Jersey, on Oct 1, 2020. WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Thursday signalled he might not accept rule changes for upcoming presidential debates which organisers have said will be needed to reign in unruly behavior.

But Trump asked in a tweet on Thursday:"Why would I allow the Debate Commission to change the rules for the second and third Debates when I easily won last time?" He did not indicate whether a change in rules would affect whether he participated or not. Both campaigns agreed to the rules of Tuesday night's debate, which had envisioned six 15-minute sections in which each candidate had two minutes to answer a question before beginning back-and-forth.The 90-minute face-off on Tuesday triggered widespread criticism of Trump and, to a lesser extent, Biden.

The two candidates will face off at the polls on Nov 3. While Biden leads Trump in most national public opinion polls, polls also show that the two are neck-and-neck in several states that could determine the winner of the contest. More than 2 million voters have already cast ballots, with a surge of early and mail voting expected this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
