Herschel Walker, Raphael Warnock face off in a only debate with Senate control on the line
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Republican challenger Herschel Walker square-off Friday in their one and only Senate debate

It’s a high stakes showdown in a high-profile and extremely expensive Senate race that’s among a handful across the country that will determine if Republicans win back the chamber’s majority.
First-term Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Republican challenger Herschel Walker face off Friday night in Savannah in their first and only debate ahead of next month’s midterm elections.
And the debate comes as Walker, a former college and professional football star, is facing the biggest controversy of his campaign for the Senate, as he continues to deny a bombshell report that he paid for a girlfriend’s abortion 13 years ago. Walker — who is a vocal opponent of legalized abortion and supports a proposed 15-week federal ban against the procedure — has repeatedly called the allegations "a flat-out lie."
With the controversy preceding the showdown, the sole debate in the contest is being framed as a "make or break" moment in a race where an average of the latest public opinion polls indicates Warnock with a slight three-point edge over Walker.
