After Kemp pulls out of original debate, candidates unable to agree on alternative

ATLANTA - WEDNESDAY 7:00 p.m. UPDATE:

After Kemp pulled out of the original agreed upon date and time, the candidates cannot agree to Monday at 7:30 p.m., citing scheduling conflicts. (You can read Abrams' campaign's and Kemp's campaign's full statements below)

Here is the full release from WSB-TV:

The final debate in Georgia's hotly contested governor's race set for Sunday at 5 p.m. has been canceled. The debate was originally scheduled and agreed to by all three candidates six weeks ago. Kemp pulled out on Tuesday in order to attend President Trump’s rally in Macon occurring at the same time. Trump announced the rally on Monday.

“We regret that we had to cancel but once Secretary Kemp pulled out at the last minute, the candidates could not agree to a new time," said Channel 2 News Director Misti Turnbull.

“Our number one concern is giving Georgia voters what was promised, and that is a debate with all the candidates,” Turnbull said. "As in past major elections, we work to bring the candidates together in a debate forum, so the viewers and their constituents can hear each candidate's responses to pressing questions.”
