President Donald Trump said Monday that he will take a coronavirus test before his next debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden later this week.
Trump, who earlier this month tested positive for Covid-19 and was hospitalized for several days, and Biden are set to square off Thursday for their second, and last debate of the 2020 election season.
Trump has claimed he does not remember whether he was tested for the virus on the day of the first debate with Biden, which took place on Sept. 29 in Cleveland. That debate occurred two days before Trump tested positive.
“Possibly I did, possibly I didn’t,” Trump told NBC’s Savannah Guthrie last Thursday when asked if he took a Covid-19 test on the day of that debate.
