U.S. Senate Candidates Challenged to a Debate

The two men campaigning to be Alabama’s junior U.S. Senator have received invitation to a debate. WHNT-TV in Huntsville wants Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore to face off ahead of the December twelfth general election. Jones is accusing Moore of avoiding a public discussion of his record. Alabama’s suspended chief justice backed down from his call for a religious litmus test for Congress. The second highest ranking Republican in the Senate disagreed with Moore’s stance and candidate backed down. WHNT says the only debate it will not support us the unmoderated type Moore and Luther Strange conducted during the GOP primary.
