Biden’s foreign policy - Georgia Senate debates - French security law protest

Incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and her Democratic challenger, Rev. Raphael Warnock, faced off Sunday night in [their first debate]. The two candidates also sparred over religion, policing and the coronavirus pandemic. “I don’t think we should defund the police, but we certainly do need criminal justice reform,” [Warnock] said. Loeffler made a point to highlight her pro-life, anti-abortion stance, and called-out Warnock for being a Christian man who supports a woman’s right to choose.

Sen. David Perdue, Georgia’s senior senator who is also facing a runoff, declared he would not participate in a single debate against [Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff]. While he refused to debate, [the debate host, the Atlanta Press Club] chose not to cancel the debate. Instead, [Ossoff] repeatedly called out Perdue’s absence as he took questions from panelists while standing next to an empty podium.

The Senate majority is only at stake in these elections because if both Warnock and Ossoff win, Democrats will hold 50 seats in the Senate, and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would be the tie-breaking vote. Voting is already underway in the Peach State, with hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots already having been mailed out to voters, and over 40,000 of those ballots have already been returned and accepted.
