Democrat Jon Ossoff challenged Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) on Monday to three televised debates ahead of the January Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
“Our country continues to face great challenges – acute public health and economic crises, persistent economic hardship for working families, unequal justice under the law, deep political divisions, and widespread corruption in our political system,†Ossoff wrote in a letter to Perdue.
“Georgians deserve to hear their candidates for U.S. Senate debate these issues publicly,†he added. “I am asking you to join me in committing to three live, in-person debates sponsored by media organizations throughout our great state. Georgians deserve nothing less.â€
Ossoff and Perdue advanced to a runoff election last week after neither candidate managed to pass the 50 percent vote threshold required to win the Senate contest outright. Perdue leads Ossoff in the initial vote 49.7 percent to 47.9 percent.
