2:34Now PlayingTwo Black candidates are running for the Senate seat in Georgia as Stacey Abrams fights to become the first Black female governor.
RELATEDHow Trump and Biden will affect midterm elections in swing states
Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker faced off Friday in a contentious Senate debate in Savannah, featuring attacks over a bevy of hot-button subjects including inflation, nuclear weapons, child support, past falsehoods and a recent abortion scandal.
The debate, held three days before early voting starts in Georgia, will be the last time both candidates share a stage in one of the most fiercely competitive races this midterm cycle.
Among the more heated moments was Walker’s defense against allegations reported by The Daily Beast that the former University of Georgia football player personally paid an ex-girlfriend to get an abortion over a decade ago. (Walker is vehemently anti-abortion.)
Walker called the report, which USA TODAY has not verified, "a flat-out lie." But just days later, The New York Times reported that Walker urged the woman to terminate a second pregnancy two years later.
