Trump opposes changes to presidential debate rules

Washington, Oct 2 : US President Donald Trump has opposed possible changes to the format of the two remaining presidential debates with his Democratic rival Joe Biden after the first one on September 29 quickly escalated into chaos.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, the President said: “Why would I allow the Debate Commission to change the rules for the second and third debates when I easily won last time? “I won the debate big, based on compilation of polls etc. Thank you.” His tweet came a day after the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) said that they were mulling changes to the format in an effort to ensure that the remaining two encounters were less chaotic.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, CPD said: “Last night’s debate made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues.” It further said that it was “carefully considering the changes that it will adopt and will announce those measures shortly”, without elaborating further.
