The president was at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami.

Originally, the two presidential candidates were supposed to have their second of three debates; however, after the president contracted the coronavirus, the debate was going to go virtual, but the president announced he would not partake in a virtual debate.

While Trump had his town hall, Biden was in Philadelphia for a town hall, also at 8 p.m.

Today anchor Savannah Guthrie hosted the hour-long town hall.
