Trump scheduled the separate townhall so he would

not have to agree to the Biden request to make the final debate a townhall. That and so he could keep Biden from getting all of the attention on Thursday.

Town Hall meetings always draw from undecided voters. Is there any reason to assert that NBC is doing otherwise?

This is taking place in Florida. The 538 polling average is about 5% undecided.

If you believe there ARE no undecided voters, then there wouldn't be a need for a Biden Town Hall either...

The people who were going to watch Biden's town hall, will still watch Biden. Trump will probably get primarily Trump supporters. He's not really changing anything. He is just being childish and petty. This will not serve to his advantage. At this point, I'm not sure anything will. Trump is toast, burnt toast at that.
