A White House spokesman on Sunday called for a canceled in-person debate between President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to be rescheduled after the president's physician said Saturday that Trump was no longer at risk of transmitting COVID-19 to others.

White House deputy communications director Brian Morgenstern said Sunday that a previously-planned debate on Oct. 15 should take place, CNN reported.

"The President is ready to debate and his doctors have cleared him for participating in public engagements," Morgenstern told reporters at the White House Sunday. "They've said he's no longer a risk for transmission so it would be nice if the commission would get the debate back on the schedule."
