Georgia Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock and Libertarian businessman Chase Oliver participated in a debate Sunday, but noticeably absent was Republican Herschel Walker.
Voters in Atlanta, Georgia give opinions about U.S. Senate candidates Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock.
Warnock and Walker participated in the one and only debate between them on Friday in Savannah. Walker initially said over the summer he would debate his Democrat opponent anytime, but that his campaign needed to negotiate the details. The campaign for the Trump-endorsed Republican alleged that the organizers of Sunday's Atlanta Press Club debate were biased in favor of Warnock.
"I have never been violent to anybody for any reason. I have spent my entire life as a citizen, as a pastor of Dr. King’s church steeped in the philosophy of nonviolence," he said. Oliver, who would be considered an afterthought if he ran for office in any other state, has an opportunity to make a difference in November's general election and force a runoff becauseGeorgia's two Senate races in 2020 went to a runoff election, which Warnock and fellow Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff won.
He said he supports Georgia's requirement that a candidate must surpass 50% of the vote to head to Washington because he believes a senator should not represent all of Georgia after receiving less than half of the state's support.
