Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and his Republican challenger Herschel Walker faced off Friday night in Savannah for their widely anticipated debate, tackling inflation , abortion, drugs, fake police officers, and more.
The high-stakes matchup between the seasoned orator who delivered sermons on Sunday from the pulpit of the famed Ebenezer Baptist Church and the Georgia football legend could determine which party takes control of the Senate next year.
Walker flatly denied bombshell allegations that he paid a former girlfriend to get an abortion, calling it "a lie." The mother of one of Walker's children has told multiple news organizations that the Heisman Trophy winner told her to get an abortion in 2009 and then sent her a follow-up get-well card. Walker pushed back and said, "I'm a Christian. I believe in life."
