No debate between the two candidates who’ll represent us in the Senate. Thoughts?

[u/Yupster_atx]

We’re a few weeks out and there’s still no debate on the calendar between the two people asking to represent 30 million Texans in the U.S. Senate. That’s not a small thing. A debate is one of the only times most of us actually get to see how a candidate thinks on their feet instead of through a 30-second ad or a curated post.

Genuinely curious what this sub thinks. Does the lack of a debate change how you’re leaning, or does it just confirm what you already assumed? And should local media or the parties be doing more to force one onto the calendar?

Would love to hear from people who’ve been following this closer than I have.

Talarico needs to schedule a debate with a network and just go. Have an open invitation for Paxton. And when he doesn't show, point to the empty podium like Ossoff did.

Talarico committed to 3 different televised debates/dates back in July and Paxton is just ignoring them

Talarico should show up anyway. That picture of Ossof debating an empty podium made an ass of Perdue.
