US Elections 2020: Topics for final presidential debate released

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden will face questions on the coronavirus, race issues and climate change in the final presidential debate next week.

Moderator Kristen Welker of NBC released the six topics for the debate Friday through the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. They are "Fighting COVID-19," "American Families," "Race in America," "Climate Change," "National Security," and ``Leadership."

Trump and Biden will take the stage together for 90 minutes on October 22 in Nashville, three weeks after their first meeting in Cleveland.


A second outing planned for October 15 was called off after Trump's coronavirus diagnosis and his refusal to participate in a virtual debate. Donald Trump and Joe Biden held town halls on different networks at the same time instead.
