Herschel Walker, the Republican Senate nominee from Georgia, said this week that he has accepted an invitation to debate his Democratic rival, Sen. Raphael Warnock, in October
Speaking to Fox's Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Walker said he has agreed to a televised debate in Savannah, Warnock's hometown. Notably, that event is not one of the three debates Warnock has said he has agreed to attend."I have accepted a debate in Savannah, Georgia, in his backyard, that we can debate October the 14th, in front of a crowd, that it'll be his people, because we're in his backyard," Walker said."This debate is going to be about the people.
"Walker has faced increasing pressure in recent weeks to agree to debate his opponent, including ads from Warnock's campaign accusing the Republican of"dodging" three debates.The pressure on Walker has come not just from Warnock. Fox's Brian Kilmeade asked the GOP nominee last week why he had not committed to debating Warnock."Sen. Warnock has nothing else to talk about," Walker said."I'm ready to debate him, any time, any day.
