Candidates for one of two U.S. Senate seats still hanging in the balance will face off in a debate that is drawing strong interest beyond Georgia. That is because the seat—now held by incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler and being challenged by Democrat Raphael Warnock—is one of two that will tip control of the Senate to either Republicans or Democrats. Republicans currently hold a 50-48 edge in the Senate. Loeffler and Warnock face off Sunday in a debate sponsored by the Atlanta Press Club. Although Warnock has sought additional debates, none have been scheduled yet, meaning this could be the only head-to-head debate between the two candidates. The other Senate seat still undecided is between Georgia Republican U.S. Sen David Perdue, who has declined to meet Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff in additional debates after the two jousted twice before the general election.
