Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Monday that he would follow medical experts' advice when asked whether it was safe to take part in next week's scheduled debate as President Trump undergoes treatment for COVID-19.
"Listen to the science. If scientists say that it’s safe…then I think that’s fine," Biden told reporters in New Jersey as he was en route to campaign stops in Florida. "I’ll do whatever the experts say is appropriate for me to do."
"I’m not an expert on it but I think we should be very cautious," he said when asked whether Plexiglas should be used at the forum.
Biden added that he was looking forward to having the opportunity to participate in a townhall-style debate.
The second of three presidential debates is slated to take place in Miami on Oct. 15.
