The third and final televised debate in the race between U.S. Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff was canceled on Thursday after the Republican incumbent pulled out to join President Donald Trump in a planned rally in northwest Georgia.
The debate was scheduled weeks ago to air on Channel 2 Action News on Sunday, but Perdue backed out shortly after word spread that Trump would hold a rally for his re-election campaign in Rome the same day.
Locked in a statistical tie in the polls, Ossoff accused the Republican of ducking another face-to-face meeting after “millions saw that Perdue had no answers when I called him out on his record of blatant corruption, widespread disease and economic devastation” at a Wednesday debate. “Shame on you,” he added.
Perdue spokesman John Burke said “as lovely as another debate listening to Jon Ossoff lie to the people of Georgia sounds,” the Republican will instead join Trump at the rally, which has not yet been formally announced by the president’s campaign but was expected to take place Sunday evening in Rome.
