good morning to you. it is 8:56. i'm kris sanchez. a surprise twist ahead of the second presidential debate discipled for next thursday. president trump is telling fox news he's not going to take part. that follows the announcement this morning from debate organizers who decided to hold the debate virtually with trump and joe biden in different locations. the president called this unacceptable and ridiculous. for now it is still scheduled to be held one week from today.

town hall style in miami but as we know, anything can change. happening now, many people still trying to decide whether or not to take the president at his word or wondering if debate organizers might try to backtrack on that plan. as soon as we get any update we'll post to to our twitter feed. also breaking down last night's vice presidential debate. head to our home page for more coverage of that. have a great day. 42% of what a man makes. voting yes on prop 16 helps us fix that. it's supported by leaders like kamala harris and opposed by those who have always opposed equality. we either fall from grace or we rise. together. proposition 16 provides equal opportunities, levelling the playing field for all of us. vote yes on prop 16.
