Warnock and Walker to debate Oct. 14

September 14, 2022

Also in today’s Swing State Georgia:

• Georgia Republicans attack on inflation concerns.

• Warnock hits Walker over past domestic violence claims.

• A former Atlanta mayor might be a D.C. short timer.

Georgians will see at least one U.S. Senate debate this fall now that incumbent Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger Herschel Walker have each agreed to an Oct. 14 showdown in Savannah.

The Nexstar-sponsored debate, to be held at a theater with a live audience on a Friday night, holds promise and pitfalls for both candidates.

Warnock has pummeled Walker for months over his reluctance to agree to a debate, finally giving in to the Republican’s preferred format after the senator couldn’t get a commitment for a trio of other faceoffs.

The Democrat apparently calculated that a single debate appearance was better than none at all.
