Nunn-Perdue Candidate Forum: Live Tweets
U.S. Senate candidates Michelle Nunn and David Perdue have just wrapped up a joint appearance at the Georgia Chamber of Commerce meeting being held in Macon.
The video of the entire candidate forum was streamed live by WABE.org. That live stream has now concluded.
This was billed as a a forum, not a debate. Each candidate gave opening remarks and then independently answered a series of questions posed by moderator John Pruitt.
Our live stream of the forum began at 12:15 p.m. today and has now concluded.
WABE thanks WMAZ-13 in Macon and the Georgia Association of Broadcasters for making this video feed available.
Our reporter Michell Eloy was at the Nunn-Perdue candidate forum. Michell will have more on the forum later, but here are some tweets she sent during the program.
