Voters will have a chance Sunday to see three of the four U.S. Senate runoff candidates in televised debates.
The setting is the Atlanta Press Club Loudermilk-Young Debate Series carried on Georgia Public Broadcasting and available via livestream.
Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Raphael Warnock will debate at 7 p.m.
Democrat Jon Ossoff will participate in a live candidate program at 5 p.m., but Republican Sen. David Perdue has declined to participate. The Atlanta Press Club has said the invitation remains open for him to join the debate.
The debate between Loeffler and Warnock may be the only debate before the runoff. In addition to GPB, the debate has been picked up by other broadcast and cable stations, including CNN, Fox News, and C-SPAN.
