Trump says he won't participate in a virtual debate

I was looking forward to seeing President Donald Trump pressing Joe Biden on whether he'll be packing the US Supreme Court with liberals. But a virtual debate would be just silly. 

From AP
President Donald Trump vowed Thursday not to participate in next week's debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden after organizers announced it will take place virtually because of the president's diagnosis of COVID-19. 
"I'm not going to do a virtual debate" with Biden, Trump told Fox News, moments after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the changes due to Trump's diagnosis. 

That cast serious doubts on whether the event will go forward, even as Biden's campaign vowed that its candidate will participate.
