Trump Campaign Urges Change in Debate Topics


Trump’s Re-Election Campaign lashed out at the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) about the Topics and Potential Rule Changes for the Final Face-Off against Joe Biden.

Trump and Biden will be Asked about:

- Fighting COVID-19
- American Families
- Race in America
- Climate Change
- National Security
- Leadership

In a Two-page Letter to the Commission, Trump Campaign Manager, Bill Stepien, stopped short of Threatening to Withdraw from the Oct. 22nd Debate but said the Non-Partisan Commission’s “pro-Biden antics have turned the entire debate season into a fiasco.”

“For the good of campaign integrity and for the benefit of the American people, we urge you to rethink and reissue a set of topics for the October 22 debate, with an emphasis on foreign policy,” Stepien wrote in the Letter, which was dated Oct. 19th and Posted on his Twitter Account.

The Campaign Chief said the Topic List would “insulate Biden from his own history,” referring to Unfounded Allegations related to the Foreign Business Dealings of the Former Vice President’s Son, Hunter.

Stepien said the Final Debate was “always billed” as a Foreign Policy Debate but that was never Announced by the Commission or the Moderator, NBC’s Kristen Welker.

The Biden Campaign said the Commission should Stick to the Plan the Candidates’ Teams Agreed to earlier this year. “The campaigns and the commission agreed months ago that the debate moderator would choose the topics,” Biden Campaign Spokesman, TJ Ducklo, said in a Statement. “The Trump campaign is lying about that now because Trump is afraid to face more questions about his disastrous Covid response.”

The commission has considered whether to Cut-ooff Candidates’ Microphones if they Break the Debate Rules.

“It is completely unacceptable for anyone to wield such power, and a decision to proceed with that change amounts to turning further editorial control of the debate over to the Commission,” Stepien said.
