A debate between the candidates vying for Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s seat has been canceled after Loeffler and top Democrat Raphael Warnock declined to participate, according to a letter sent by the organizers.
WSB-TV announced the cancellation of the debate, scheduled for Nov. 1, in a letter sent to the candidates.
“Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Rev. Raphael Warnock have both declined to participate,” the letter reads. “Our goal had been to stage an event where Georgia voters would receive a fair look at the main candidates in this race. Without their participation this is not possible, and for that reason WSB-TV has made a decision to cancel Sunday’s noon debate.”
