1. Because he got

his butt kicked in the last one.

[whttevrr]

8. They're doing interviews instead

I hope it is fair.

[Totally Tunsie]

24. Just watched it, and it seemed well handled.

Harrison had the first half hour, followed by the same for Graham. It was a decent format. Didn't hear any surprises.

ETA: Graham looked and sounded healthy.

[whttevrr]

26. Hopefully people checked out for Lindsey

Would really like to see him beat.

[secondwind]

2. It doesn't make sense. If you have the virus, the truth will come out

no matter what....

[helpisontheway]

5. Not if asymptomatic. Nt

[whttevrr]

10. yeah... he is a piece of work.

Do you think he is ok with infecting others?

[RainCaster]

3. It would reveal his alien DNA

Makes as much sense as anything he has said.

[whttevrr]

9. ha ha ha. thank you.

[drray23]

4. to not risk testing positive and jeopardize the nomination of Amy Comer Barrett

He is the head of the committee and they are meeting monday. If he has to quarantine , the nomination is shot.

[LonePirate]

7. That is the correct answer.

[whttevrr]

13. that sucks

[leftieNanner]

15. You beat me to it! nt

[LisaL]

23. So I guess he doesn't care if he infects them all, in case he is positive?

6. If positive it would stop Supreme Court nominee n/t

[sarcasmo]

21. +1

[NotASurfer]

11. Desperately playing to the kool-aid drinking MAGA base

His road to reelection requires an energized base and an insanely high turnout among that base. He'll do everything to emulate and support Dear Leader to shore up that support

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. If it's all about the Supreme Court than I have

to say if he has COVID I hope he gets realllllly sick for jeopardizeing his staff and the committee members.

[Jirel]

14. 2 major reasons.

If positive,

1. He misses, possibly scuttles, the Amy COVID Barrett hearings.

2. His re-election campaign and money situation are in dire straights. If he is benched for a couple weeks, he loses. The end.

[smirkymonkey]

27. +1000

Exactly this! I hope Jaime trounces him. I have sent him a number of donations. That is one race I am watching closely.

A debate between Sen. Lindsey Graham and challenger Jamie Harrison got nixed after Graham refused to take a COVID-19 test

A debate between South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and his Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison was canceled after Graham refused to take a COVID-19 test.

The debate was scheduled for Friday night, but now Graham and Harrison will separately conduct 30-minute interviews with the local CBS News affiliate, WSPA-TV, The Post and Courier reported.

On Thursday, Harrison demanded Graham take a COVID-19 test before they debated.

"I'm excited for tomorrow's debate with @LindseyGrahamSC, but we need real leadership in this pandemic. The debate moderators and I have agreed to take a COVID test prior to debating. I've scheduled my test, and I am calling on Sen. Graham to do the same," Harrison said in a tweet.
