Ossoff and Collins Agree to Two Televised Debates in Georgia Senate Race

Broad statewide broadcasts will let voters directly compare Collins on ethics questions, including a House inquiry and reported ties to an extremist influencer, with Ossoff who leads in polls and fundraising.

U.S. Representative Mike Collins (R-GA) speaks with attendees during a Republican political event about the One Big Beautiful Bill at ALTA Refrigeration in Peachtree City, Georgia, U.S., August 21, 2025.

Overview

  • Both campaigns have confirmed two formal debates for the general election, one at Assembly Atlanta in Doraville and a second at the Atlanta Press Club.
  • The Doraville debate will be moderated by Rick Folbaum with pre- and post-debate coverage by "On the Record: Live" and will air across Gray Media stations in Georgia.
  • The Atlanta Press Club event will be streamed live on YouTube and on Georgia Public Broadcasting to ensure statewide access.
  • Recent July polling shows Ossoff holding a steady lead over Collins while Ossoff also reports a large cash-on-hand advantage and Collins faces a House ethics inquiry and reporting about ties to a white nationalist influencer.
  • The debates create two clear moments for voters to assess both candidates and could shift the race as national attention, Trump’s endorsement of Collins, campaign fundraising, ethics developments, and older voters’ opinions all factor into the Nov. 3 outcome.
