Trump campaign trashes debate commission for leaving foreign policy off list of topics

Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign fired off a scathing letter to the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates bemoaning the absence of foreign policy as one of the six topics for the president’s second and final debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Thursday.

“As is the long-standing custom, and as had been promised by the Commission on Presidential Debates, we had expected that foreign policy would be the central focus of the October 22 debate. We urge you to recalibrate the topics and return to subjects which had already been confirmed,” Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien wrote in his letter dated Monday.
