ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock said he’ll debate Herschel Walker at the Republican’s preferred event in Savannah in October — if his GOP challenger accepts a second showdown next month and agrees that the candidates won’t be provided the topics of the questions in advance.
The Democratic incumbent leveled the latest challenge in the ongoing saga on Wednesday after months of back and forth between the two rivals that has raised doubts about whether they’ll ever meet each other on the debate stage.
“It’s time for Herschel Walker to stop playing games,” said Quentin Fulks, Warnock’s campaign manager. “The job of a U.S. senator isn’t one where you know the topics ahead of time or get a cheat sheet, and Herschel Walker shouldn’t need one to find the courage to walk on a debate stage.”
