SAVANNAH – The showdown between U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker is finally here.

The televised U.S. Senate debate begins at 7 p.m., and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will provide live updates before, during and after the hourlong event.

First, here’s how to watch the debate, which is carried by Nexstar outlets. And if you need a reminder how sunny Savannah wound up being the setting of the sole showdown between the two rivals, here’s a handy guide.
