Todayco-anchor Savannah Guthrie kicked off Thursday night's NBC town hall in Miami with President Donald Trump addressing the scheduling chaos and controversy around the debate-turned-solo event. "We want to say right off the top this is not how things were supposed to go tonight," theTodayco-anchor said at the top of the debate. "This was supposed to be a town hall debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, but after the president contracted COVID, the debate Commission announced that it would have to be a virtual debate because of health concerns." Guthrie went on to say the president refused to participate in a virtual debate and as a result, Democratic candidate Joe Biden scheduled his own town hall from Pennsylvania on ABC tonight.
