The governor said Tuesday he has agreed to debate O’Rourke, his Democratic opponent, on Sept. 30 in the Rio Grande Valley.

O’Rourke said he would debate Abbott in the Valley but did not commit to the Sept. 30 debate. Without ruling it out entirely, he also called for three “town hall-style debates.”

The perennial debate over debates kicked off Tuesday afternoon, when Abbott’s campaign announced he had accepted an invitation from Nexstar Media Group to debate O’Rourke on the evening of Sept. 30 at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg. Abbott’s campaign called it “the one and only gubernatorial debate of the 2022 election,” implying it is the only one he is willing to do.

The O’Rourke campaign said it additionally wants Abbott to “participate in three town hall-style debates in every region of the state during weeknights this fall where they can take questions directly from their fellow Texans.” Abbott’s choice of the evening of Sept. 30 — a Friday evening in the fall — is a timeworn tactic of incumbents looking to agree to a debate when not as many Texans are paying attention as they would on other nights of the week.

Abbott’s campaign said the Sept. 30 debate “will be available in every media market, and on Spanish language stations throughout Texas.”

Beto can drop all the F bombs he wants the border crisis is indefensible.

Beta beto already lost

Tie BETO’s arms up. Then he won’t be able to talk.

BetoORourke you know what The Rolling Stones say…”you can’t always get what you want.”

So what if it's a Friday night in late Sept. Saying it's a tactic so many won't watch is illogical. It's 2022, if I don't watch it live, I will watch the playback on all MSM and YouTube. They could do it at midnight and anyone that wants to see it will, MSM will make sure of it.

all BetoORourke will do is take shots, its what he always does. Beto is an Ivy League Absolutist, history is filled with Ivy Leaguers that have failed society. Absolutists look for an answer today but cant visualize the disaster effects down the road, they are dangerous.

Abbott appeared to laugh at a Uvalde massacre reference as O’Rourke was discussing his hopes to curb mass shootings. The guy is lucky he only got called a M F. Laughing at 19 murdered children and their teachers should lead to a good ass kicking. The guy who laughed should have to sit with the parents and then laugh.
