ATLANTA—Georgia’s two pivotal Senate runoffs had their biggest moment yet on Sunday—the first, and perhaps only, debate of the campaign. But the night was defined by a striking split-screen.
One hour of televised debate was allotted for the candidates in one race, Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and Democrat Raphael Warnock, and a separate hour of debate was allotted for candidates in the other race, Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) and Democrat Jon Ossoff.
During their hour, Loeffler (R-GA) and Warnock traded brutal attacks that underscored how heated this crucial contest for control of the Senate has become.
