(CNN) ––
The Commission on Presidential Debates canceled the second debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, which would take place in Miami, a source familiar with the plans told CNN.
The move comes after the president refused to host the event virtually despite concerns about his covid-19 diagnosis, the source said.
The cancellation culminates in a furious 48-hour exchange between the commission and both campaigns.
It also means that what would have been the third debate in Nashville on October 22 will likely be the final meeting between the two candidates.
CNN previously reported that Joe Biden had engaged to an ABC forum on Thursday.
Also, this early Friday, CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported that President Trump is in talks to hold a forum with NBC on Thursday, warning that plans have not yet been finalized.
