After the announcement was made by the Commission, the Biden campaign shared with ABC News that they will participate in a virtual debate:

"Vice President Biden looks forward to speaking directly to the American people and comparing his plan for bringing the country together and building back better with Donald Trump's failed leadership on the coronavirus that has thrown the strong economy he inherited into the worst downturn since the Great Depression."

The Trump campaign also shared that instead of participating in the second debate, Trump will hold a rally.
