A fiery debate Friday night in Savannah between incumbent Democratic Georgia U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger, Herschel Walker, sparked headlines across the country and further heated up a race with major national implications.
The candidate traded barbs over a number of key issues, including abortion, federal student loan relief and which candidate is telling the truth.
“We will see time and time again tonight, as we’ve already seen, that my opponent has a problem with the truth,” Warnock said. “I think that the women of this country and the women of this state woke up one summer morning, and a core protection that they’ve known for 50 years was taken from them by an extremist supreme court,” Warnock said.
The two candidates also traded barbs over President Biden’s decision to forgive federal student loan debt for millions of Americans, something Sen. Warnock fought for. For a full hour, the incumbent and challenger debated hot topic issues impacting the lives of people across the state.“The people got a chance to see to see the two candidates side by side and answer the questions and whether or not they are really prepared to represent Georgia,” said former Savannah Mayor Otis Johnson. “For me, it just reinforced my decision that our current senator needs six more years.
