Perdue backs out of debate after being called a "crook," Ossoff will face off against empty podium

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff called Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., a "coward" on Sunday for refusing to participate in any debates ahead of their January runoff election in Georgia.

Perdue will be "represented by an empty podium" at the Atlanta Press Club's Dec. 6 debate, according to Georgia Public Broadcasting. The debate organizer said the move was not its "preference," but Perdue had "decided not to participate."

Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., is scheduled to debate her Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock in Georgia's other runoff race on Dec. 6, the Atlanta Press Club said. The two runoffs will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate for the next two years. Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives as they reclaim control of the White House under President-elect Joe Biden.

Perdue likewise withdrew from his previously scheduled final debate with Ossoff before Election Day after a clip of the Democrat calling the incumbent a "crook" went viral.

3. Content to allow the "crook" assertion to stand, unchallenged? That's a strategy?

Perhaps Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., thinks he has it in the bag?

Was Lindsey's ask for Georgia signature checks about the Presidential race, or about Senate runoffs?

Georgia official going public with it says they really were having none of it, and not going there.

4. I am quite glad they are still holding the debate complete with empty chair

all too often candidates get to avoid debates with no real cost since they either get cancelled or turned into single candidate forums.
