Senate Debate Challenge Ignites | Columbia News

The U.S. Senate race is heating up as Democratic candidate Dr. Annie Andrews boldly challenges interim Senator Darline Graham to a televised debate, launching a campaign initiative called “Debate Me Darline” to force the issue. Andrews argues that dodging live debates undermines democracy, especially for a high-stakes Senate seat, while FOX Carolina’s invitation — accepted by Andrews’ team and confirmed for Graham’s — puts pressure on Graham to respond. With the debate slated for October 12th and broadcast statewide, voters are watching closely as the election nears and candidates face mounting pressure to engage head-to-head.
