somebody mentioned a virtual a moment
ago that is
essentially what's going to be happening
with the presidential debate
the news broke actually griff jenkins
sent us a memo from the commission on
presidential debates
and griffith sounds as if the president
will a week from today be at the white
house we don't know where joe biden's
going to be
but the moderator and the town hall
people will
actually be in miami
a lot of breaking news steve and it's
going to be an interesting day
indeed the cpd making that announcement
in the last hour by emailing
all of the folks covering it that to
protect the safety and health of all
involved they were going to have it
virtual meaning
that president trump and former vice
president biden would be in separate
remote locations
while the moderator steve scully of
c-span and the town hall participants
would remain
as planned to come from the arts center
in miami
that is what cpd has decided to do
that's gone out to the pool
covering the debates and everyone else
although i've just learned
moments ago in an interview on our
sister network with maria bartoromo
president trump says
he's not so sure that's acceptable to
him saying that he probably
will not participate in a virtual debate
that is going to certainly cause a lot
of discussion
today we will have to wait and find out
this comes as you recall
after biden made remarks earlier this
week saying that if the president didn't
test
negative then he would not
consider possibly going forward with it
a lot of questions meanwhile
about last night we're not in cleveland
anymore and it was more
civil indeed senator harris though still
throwing a lot of punches despite the
plexiglas
and she came out hard and fast right out
of the gate on the corona virus
as vice president pence tried to defend
the administration's handling of the
pandemic watch
when i look at their plan that talks
about advancing testing
creating new ppe developing a vaccine
it looks a little bit like plagiarism
which is something joe biden knows a
little bit about
the american people have witnessed what
is
the greatest failure of any presidential
administration in the history of our
country
we have to get a hold of what has been
going on and we need to save
our country and joe biden is the best
leader to do that and frankly this
administration has
forfeited thank you their right to
reelection
but vice president pence went on the
offensive drawing harris out over his
her record on law enforcement listen
you did nothing on criminal justice
reform in california
you didn't lift a finger to pass the
first step back on capitol hill
i mean the reality is your record speaks
for itself
itself he attacked my record i would
like an opportunity to respond i will
not be lectured
by the vice president on our record
of what we have done in terms of law
enforcement and keeping our communities
safe
and as ainsley you pointed out really we
saw contrast between the two candidates
on a variety of issues from the economy
taxes foreign policy
and of course the supreme court an
interesting moment though when
pence pressed harris on packing the
court watch
joe and i are very clear the american
people
are voting right now and it should be
their decision they'd like to know if
you and joe biden are going to
pack the supreme court if you don't get
your way in this nomination
let's talk about that you once again
gave a non-answer joe biden gave him
anonymous trying to answer you the
american people deserve a straight
answer
yeah let's talk about pac in the court
then let's talk about this please
i just want the record reflect she never
answered the question
so question now is will last night move
the needle at all we'll have to wait and
find out
coming into last night in the latest fox
news poll biden leads by 10 points
53-43 now you've got
pence harris and biden all on the
campaign trail today
at events in person in arizona so we'll
see what they say about this cpd
news about the virtual miami debate but
just to give you a quote now
from what i was referencing the
president speaking with maria bartoromo
he says i'm not going to waste
my time this is going to be something
you hear a lot about this morning brian
ainsley steve wow
all right griff thank you very much um
so this is breaking news that they're
going to be doing it virtually but
apparently uh within the last half hour
they announced it would be virtual the
next presidential debate
but they did not talk to either of the
campaigns it's unbelievable they did not
give the campaigns a heads up
and when the president of just about
four minutes ago
heard about it he said i'm not wasting
my time i'm not participating
