Candidates for one of two U.S. Senate seats still hanging in the balance will face off in a debate that is drawing strong interest beyond Georgia.

That is because the seat—now held by incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler and being challenged by Democrat Raphael Warnock—is one of two that will tip control of the Senate to either Republicans or Democrats. Republicans currently hold a 50–48 edge in the Senate.
