CLEVELAND, Ohio-President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who served as vice president under former president Barack Obama, will debate Thurs., Oct
22 at Belmont University in Nashville, TN beginning at 9 pm EST .
It is the second and final debate after the Oct 15 debate was cancelled, the president refusing to do a virtual debate and the Commission on Presidential Debates refusing to host a live debate that day after Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus.
His doctors have since said the president has tested negative for the deadly virus.
Thursday's televised debate will be the fewest debates of presidential candidates since 1996
It will be moderated by Kristen Welker of NBC News.
The candidates mics will be muted by production staff when the they are responding to questions form the moderator, after Trump, a Republican, acted a fool during the First Presidential Debate in Cleveland on Sept 29., and would not stop interrupting.
Hundreds of Black Lives Matter activists protested near the debate last month in Cleveland. a chaotic debate where afterwards the president took heat for refusing to denounce White supremacy during the 90-mi mute debate, and during a time of heightened racial unrest in the country.
Instead, he promoted the Proud Boys to the limited debate audience, and told them to "stand by," the far-right White extremist group later pledging allegiance to the president on social media.
Biden, however, denounced White supremacy and institutional racism at Cleveland's forum, and was no pushover, and was combative too, both of the presidential candidates calling each other names and interrupting each other, and outright ignoring debate moderator Chris Wallace's continual demands for decorum.
Wallace blamed the president for most of the interruptions.
“I think the country would be better served if we let both people speak without interrupting,” said Wallace during the now infamous Cleveland debate, Wallace an anchor for Fox News.
