Conor Lamb and Rick Saccone to debate on KDKA Monday night (2-19) [View all]
The hotly-contested race for Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District will pour out into the public Monday as Democrat Conor Lamb and Republican Rick Saccone participate in their first debate.
It hadn't been clear if the two would debate ahead of the March 13 special election, but KDKA-TV announced Friday will host the two candidates in studio next week for a debate that will air Monday night from 7 to 8 p.m.
According to KDKA, the debate will be moderated by anchor Ken Rice, with politics editor Jon Delano and reporter Lynne Hayes-Freeland serving as panelists.
The debate will come amid a statistical tie in the race for the seat. Monmouth University released a poll this week showing Mr. Saccone with a lead over Mr. Lamb, but within the poll's margin of error.
