With less than four weeks until Election Day on Nov. 8, Sen. Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker's debate had many stunning moments. Three things to know about their Friday night debate:
Walker also frequently highlighted the struggles the country has faced since Democrats won the White House and control of the Senate in the 2020 election. Walker centered his challenges on the economy and inflation but also made mention of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the deadly attack on U.S. Marines at the Kabul airport and Democratic Party policies on criminal justice reform.
Warnock offered a memorable rejoinder: “My opponent would be rather be running against anybody except me. There are only two people who are going to sit in this seat, either me or my opponent. This race is about who is ready to represent Georgia.” For Walker, the focus was on recent reports that he paid a past girlfriend to get an abortion and urged her to have a second. For Warnock, the attention was on a clip where he was shown saying “even God gave us a choice” in relation to abortion.
Walker is a self-proclaimed"pro-choice pastor" and pointed to his service, saying “I’m a man of faith and I have a profound reverence for life and a deep respect for choice.”
