Trump to take questions from Florida voters Thursday in televised NBC Miami town hall

President Donald Trump will be in Miami Thursday evening to participate in a televised town hall with Florida voters, NBC announced Wednesday morning.

The one-hour event will be held at 8 p.m. on the west terrace of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, overlooking Biscayne Bay, according to the network. In addition to airing on NBC, the forum will also air across MSNBC and CNBC, and will be streamed in Spanish on Telemundo’s digital platforms.

The town hall is scheduled 10 days after NBC hosted Democratic nominee Joe Biden for a previous town hall at the same location.

Trump and Biden were supposed to debate Thursday night at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, located just a short walk from the museum. But Trump balked at an announcement by the Commission on Presidential Debates that it would hold the debate virtually due to the president’s Oct. 2 COVID-19 diagnosis. And Biden quickly scheduled a town hall that evening with ABC in Philadelphia also at 8 p.m.

Dr. Anthony Fauci have reviewed the president’s recent medical data … and have concluded ‘with a high degree of confidence’ that the president is ‘not shedding infectious virus.’”

Both Guthrie and the president will be at least 12 feet apart from both each other and the audience, according to NBC. The audience will also be socially distanced, and will be required to wear face masks, answer a symptoms questionnaire and take a temperature check prior to entering the venue.
