High stakes as Trump, Biden head into final debate

The second and final general election final debate is underway in Nashville, less than two weeks ahead of Election Day.

President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden have taken the stage at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee.

Several members of the Trump family are in the audience, including Melania Trump, who entered the debate hall wearing a face covering.

Thursday's appearances marked the first by the first lady since she and the president tested positive for the coronavirus several days following the first debate at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

Another debate that had been scheduled for earlier this month was called off after debate organizers changed it to a virtual format, to which Trump objected and said he would not participate.

Both Trump and Biden said Thursday they had tested negative for the coronavirus ahead of Thursday's meeting.
