The Presidential Debate Commission announced on Tuesday that President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee, will face off in Indiana, Tennessee, and Florida.
The announcement came shortly after the University of Michigan, which was supposed to host the second presidential debate, pulled out over concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. As of now, the second debate will be held in Miami, Florida, on October 15, following the first debate in Notre Dame, Indiana, on September 29. The third, and final, debate will be hosted in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 22.
Michigan’s decision ensures that all three debates will be in states that Trump won handily in 2016. It is unclear, though, whether the locations will have any impact on the chances of either of the candidates. In the past, when presidential and vice presidential debates have been held in swing states, such as Virginia or Missouri, there has generally been a corresponding boost for the Democrat candidate. Such was the case in 2016 when Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton debated in Paradise, Nevada. read more here: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/23/debate-commission-picks-red-states-for-trump-versus-biden-showdown/First presidential debate: Tuesday, Sept. 29, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN
