The Atlanta Press Club debate featured six candidates that received at least 2% in two nonpartisan polls, including Loeffler, Collins, Warnock, Democrats Matt Lieberman and Ed Tarver and Libertarian Brian Slowinski.

Loeffler, who was appointed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in 2019 to fill the seat vacated by the retirement of Sen. Johnny Isakson, spent much of her time trying to paint herself as the true conservative choice in the race.

When asked by Lieberman if there was something President Trump said or did that she disagreed with, Loeffler said no, touting her "100% voting record" with the president.

"I've been named the most conservative senator in the U.S. Senate," she said. "I've been endorsed by National Right to Life; that's because I will always stand up for conservative values."

2. what other reason would there be?

6. To be fair, Matt Lieberman is not responsible for the actions of his father.

And it does seem that he is more liberal than his father was.

I support Warnock and hope he wins. And I assume that when he makes the runoff Matt Lieberman will rally around him.

3. Are all of the people in the debate on the ballot?

Too many Democrats running..

5. Why didn't the article list Warnock with the
