Most U.S. senators running in 2020 have agreed to debate. Cindy Hyde-Smith has not.

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith is one of just nine incumbent U.S. senators running for re-election this year who has not agreed to debate their opponent.

Hyde-Smith, who faces a challenge from former Democratic congressman Mike Espy, is among 31 incumbents running for re-election in 2020. Espy has accepted two debate invitations and has publicly chastised Hyde-Smith for not doing the same.

The Hyde-Smith campaign did not respond to a request for comment for this article.
