Ossoff, Perdue Clash In Debate Centered On COVID-19, Health Care

U.S. Sen. David Perdue and challenger Jon Ossoff sniped at each other in an hourlong debate Wednesday night less than a week before the Nov. 3 election that echoed attacks the pair have lobbed at each other for months in television and social-media ads.

It was the second time Perdue, a Republican, and Ossoff, a Democrat, have squared off directly rather than through attack ads, which have racked up tens of millions of dollars and injected a bitter tension into the race.

Tropical storm Zeta’s heavy winds caused power outages across Georgia early Thursday morning, including at some of the state’s early voting sites, but the lost access outages will likely not dampen the state’s record early voting numbers, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said.

As of 10 a.m. Thursday, 15 counties were opening their early voting locations late, Raffensperger said. Three of those counties have reported power outages in at least one location, and all six of Douglas County’s early voting locations were without power.
