Sen. Warnock Challenges Herschel Walker To Three Televised Debates

The upcoming Georgia senate race is set between Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker. Walker has agreed to debate Sen. Warnock leading into the election this coming November. However, Warnock has officially committed to three televised debates, according to CBS 46, and touted his accomplishments during his tenure in a statement.

“When the people of Georgia elected me, I committed to working hard for all Georgians, and that’s what I have done: working to lower costs for Georgia families by capping the cost of prescription drugs, suspending the federal gas tax, and holding corporations accountable for price gouging,” said Warnock in a statement. “The people of Georgia will have to make a decision about who is best able to represent the people of Georgia. The debates are an opportunity for Georgians to see the clear choice they have in this important election.”


Regarding the debates, Sen. Warnock may want to get a commitment in writing from Walker. While he ran for the Georgia Republican nomination for Senator, Walker showed up to no debates at all. It will instantly become must-see television if Walker agrees to all of these. Early polls show that the Warnock/Walker matchup is a close race for now.

That's what the GQP is doing now. Anyway, he couldn't debate a rock. The rock would win. Guaranteed.

A Warnock-Walker debate would be a joke if is wasn't so serious.

Let everyone see him make an idiot of himself.

And Chump can't get up there and debate for him either. (Not that it would be any help.)

the GOP isn’t going to allow that. Their biggest challenge running Walker is hiding his stupidity from the public for 5 months.

Rachel Maddow said that Raphael Warnock is the most eloquent member of Congress, Herschel Walker didn't seem to know who John Lewis was. I do hope that these debates are on national TV...

If Walker wants the job, do the traditional walk. It would be interesting b/c he’s from Texas..how long has he been in Georgia? Just wondering if he knows the voters’ concerns
