John McCain today said he wants to call off the presidential debate scheduled for this Friday with Barack Obama to focus on the financial crisis on Wall Street.
The Associated Press reports:
It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the administration's proposal," McCain said. "I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time."
McCain said he has spoken to Obama about his plans and asked the Democratic presidential nominee to join him.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid issued a statement saying the debate should go on because "we need leadership, not a campaign photo op."
Obama has rejected McCain's call for delay, saying presidents need to be able to "deal with more than one thing at once," according to the Associated Press.
