And now for an actual debate.

@KLoeffler and @ReverendWarnock are facing off one-on-one for the first time starting now.

Watch the @atlpressclub debate here: gpb.org/events/news/20… #gapol
Was the election rigged, Loeffler is asked?

"We have to make sure Georgians trust this process," she says, while in effect dodging the question.
Warnock, a pastor who's trying to become a politician, is asked about the separation of church and state.

He also dodged that question, saying he's running to represent "normal people," contrasting himself to Loeffler, the wealthiest member of Congress.
Loeffler responds talking about her background growing up working on a farm, and points out that she was the first in her family to go to college.

In fact, so was Warnock. #gapol
Loeffler is asked about the threats of violence against election workers and officials.

Loeffler says she denounces those threats, as someone who has received them too.

"We've got to get to the bottom of these investigations that have started too late" #gapol
Loeffler asks Warnock to renounce socialism and Marxism, two words Republicans use often to describe Democrats these days.

"I believe in our free enterprise system. My dad was a small business owner" Warnock says. #gapol
Warnock says Loeffler "purchased" her seat, and "the people who sold it don't own it."

"The people are coming back to get their seat," he says.

Loeffler says she's "here working for Georgians" and points out she donates her pay.
Warnock asks Loeffler: did Donald Trump lose the election?

Loeffler does not answer that question, says election officials "need to be held accountable"

The runoff debates for #gasen are starting off with Jon @ossoff, debating an empty podium because @Perduesenate has declined to participate.

@LisaRayam and @bluestein are asking the questions. Watch here:

#gapol gpb.org/events/news/20…
@ossoff @Perduesenate @LisaRayam @bluestein Per the normal debate rules, Ossoff is allowed to ask Perdue a question. Because Perdue is not here, Ossoff will answer his own question.

His Q: Why he continues to oppose $1200 stimulus checks for the American people in this moment of crisis?

#gapol
One of the namesakes of the @atlpressclub Loudermilk-Young debates, former Ambassador Andrew Young stopped by and talked to Ossoff after he took more questions post debate. #gapol
