AUSTIN, Texas – Gov. Greg Abbott, a second-term Republican, and Democrat Beto O’Rourke are sparring over how many times they should debate ahead of the midterm election.
On Tuesday, Abbott announced he will face off against O’Rourke at the University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg on Sept. 30, a Friday night when many Texans will be at high school football stadiums.
But the details are far from certain. While O’Rourke agreed to participate in the debate at a “mutually agreed upon date and time,” he said one is not enough.
