Republican candidate Herschel Walker on Tuesday said he accepted a debate with Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) in October as the two battle it out for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia.

Walker, a former NFL player, told Fox News host Sean Hannity on his show Tuesday night that he would debate Warnock on Oct. 14 in Savannah, Ga. His campaign confirmed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the debate would be hosted by Nexstar-owned WSAV. Nexstar also owns The Hill.

“It will be his people because we’re in his backyard,” Walker said. “The people need to see the differences between Sen. Warnock and Herschel Walker.”

Walker easily won his primary after securing a key endorsement from former President Trump. He avoided debating his GOP rivals but has faced pressure to confront Warnock ahead of the November general election.

I doubt Walker shows up. He would get destroyed.

I’ll be voting for Herschel, but he’ll get thoroughly embarrassed in a debate.

People act like political debates are like the debate team in Harvard. They aren't. They get asked softball questions and read prepared statements to the topic of the question rarely answering the question, with an occasional zinger tossed in about the other candidate.

It's pretty difficult to get destroyed by a fricking moron like Warnock. Pencil me in as highly doubtful that happens.

I'm glad that there will be a debate. I think GA needs to see the differences between the two.

They will see 1 candidate that loves America and believes in the American way.

Then they will see the a slick snake oil salesman that puts party before country and is a socialist.

Walker is not qualified to debate an actual politician. The moderators will do everything they can to portray him as stupid.

Racist. Doesn’t matter warnock’s race. Any criticism of walker is clearly racist.

If he ever got into the Senate, he would be an ABSOLUTE embarrassment. Committee hearings, reporters catching him in the hallways for questions, etc. I don't know why anyone would vote to put Walker in those situations. The guy has severe mental limitations.

Warnock is actually in the awkward spot here. It's fine for his surrogates and supporters to denigrate Walker, but if he does it, I think he'll actually lose votes from his base. The last thing he needs is to come off as "uppity".

I get that Walker isn't the smartest guy in most rooms, but Warnock ain't exactly a Mensa member.

Well, I guess this pretty much signals the end of Herschel's political career.

The mindset of a Dem is they're smarter than God, which they all think they are, Warnock is a piece of crap and all know it.

So you're saying you're good with Warnock? Because No Herschel = Warnock. Because that's so much better?

I swear. I don't understand how some of you have managed to live this long. Don't you have a bus to walk in front of somewhere?

Debates have lost all sense of purpose in today’s political climate.

You can’t debate with crazy or stupid. It’s like trying to swim through mud without getting dirty.

Trump won an election by being edgy and tweeting nobody gives a shite who is intelligent and articulate anymore.
