That opinion was held by a vast majority of Americans. Why would the Biden camp not want to continue that?
He was cleared before the debate. They should have waited. But hey, any chance to help Biden.

Aw, too bad; so cringey on AG, but a great job in Skyscraper and Mortal Kombat: Annihialtion though!

That one event must have really tuckered the poor guy out. Needs to recover for 4 days.
Debate prep. Common practice.

This is false. For starters, a negative test does not definitively suggest that you are no longer contagious. Also, the White House refused to state whether or not he had tested negative until 4 days after Trump said he would not participate in the debate.

Pat covered why this wasn't true, but I'm curious why you say the virtual debate would've helped Biden.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
I'm pretty sure there was an article that said no candidate has ever gone of grid like this at this time in the election.

We also remember him as "Fighter" or was it "Warrior" from the Dragonstrike instructional video.
Sharp swords settle scores! He thinks magic is for wimps!

But that would be true for both of them, so it does not present any sort of one-sided benefit.

By his doctor who is a liar? Yeah, I wouldn’t trust him to tell the truth. And the stable genius can’t remember when he last tested negative. You know, a requirement for the first debate.
Trump refused to participate. Then it was cancelled.

People can continue to test positive for weeks or months afterwards. That’s why the CDC doesn’t recommend repeat testing to determine when to clear someone to return to work. But, hey, this is the Trump administration and we can’t expect them to know or follow the recommendations for this pandemic.

Nope. Trump doesn't need help. He's a genius. Comes from his good genes. His uncle was smart. Something...something...

I'm looking forward to this debate. I was really happy to see that Trump apparently agreed to mic muting. This means we may actually hear some answers to some questions, which will benefit everyone I think.

No other candidate has had to campaign during a pandemic either. I know you don’t take the threat seriously, but the majority of voters do and they respond to that responsible leadership.

Biden struggles unscripted, Trump does not. Far more helpful for Biden.

Biden's numbers went up after the first debate.
Trump is the one running scared.

That doesn't mean Biden doesn't struggle unscripted.
I'm going to have to disagree with you.
