The second presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden will take place virtually amid the fallout from the president's diagnosis of Covid-19.
The nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates debates made the announcement, a week before the two were scheduled to face off in Miami, "in order to protect the health and safety of all involved with the second presidential debate."
The candidates will "participate from separate remote locations," while the participants and moderator remain in Miami, the commission said.

Trump was diagnosed with the coronavirus a week ago and but in a Tuesday tweet said he looked forward to debating Biden on stage in Miami, "It will be great!" he tweeted.
