Sen. Raphael Warnock Calls Out Herschel Walker For Second Debate No-Show [View all]

After the first debate for Georgia’s Senate seat took place on Friday night, Republican candidate Herschel Walker decided that was enough. Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver showed up to the Atlanta Press Club on Sunday while an empty podium represented Walker. Sen. Warnock was understandably upset about this. Remember, Warnock committed to three debates a few months back.

From The Hill:

“I think it’s important to point out that my opponent Herschel Walker is not here,” Warnock said at the outset of the debate, “and I think that half of being a senator is showing up. That’s half of life. And I have shown up for the people of Georgia time and time again.”

Even Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver had some words regarding Walker’s no-show.
