The next presidential debate between Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Republic candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to be held on October 22.

This will be the second debate between the two fierce candidates. With just two weeks left for elections, this debate can play a crucial role in deciding the future of Biden and Trump's White House journey.

The Commission on Presidential debates on Friday informed that the topics for the October 22 debate will include Covid-19 and national security among others. "Kristen Welker, moderator of the October 22, 2020 presidential debate, has selected the topics for that debate," the Commission said.

Apart from covid-19 and national security, the other topics of debate are -- American families, race in America, climate change, and leadership.

The debate is scheduled to be held at Belmont University in Nashville.

It is expected that the final debate could feature India and wider neighbourhood, a report of The Tribune said.

The debate was earlier scheduled for October 16, but was postponed after the Republic candidate Donald trump tested positive for the covid-19 infection.

Meanwhile, both the candidates have been carrying their presidential campaign rallies to garner as much support as they can.

While the poll aggregator has suggested Biden's clear lead over Trump, the competition still remains neck-to-neck between the two candidates.

Trump is known for launching personal attacks while Biden often gets anxious in between debates.
