Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker will square off in their only debate Friday night, a hotly anticipated event thanks to Mr. Walker’s controversial campaign and Georgia’s emergence as a perennial battleground state.
The Senate is split 50-50 between the parties, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting tiebreaking votes. Democratic officials in Washington have said their easiest path to keeping the Senate majority is protecting four vulnerable incumbents: Mr. Warnock, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Mark Kelly of Arizona and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire. If Republicans hold all their current seats, they only need to defeat one of those Democrats to take control of the chamber.
