It was supposed to be a debate night between President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden.
The two candidates were originally scheduled to meet face to face Thursday night and take questions from voters in a town-hall setting.
Instead, they held separate town halls.
The change came about after Trump was diagnosed with the coronavirus earlier this month. The Commission on Presidential Debates proposed a virtual debate, but Trump refused to take part and Biden went ahead with plans for his own town hall. Trump's campaign later arranged its own town hall — on a different network, during the same hour.
Trump's town hall took place at the Perez Art Museum in Miami. Biden's was held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
Photographers at Biden's town hall were not able to take photos during the entire event. Photographers at Trump's event were.
