Key moments from Pennsylvania Senate debate
Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker has once again found himself embroiled in scandal as a second woman claims he made her have an abortion, branding him a “hypocrite”. Mr Walker has responded by saying he is “done with this foolishness”. He is currently polling slightly behind Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman’s campaign claims to have received more than $1m in donations after Tuesday’s Senate debate, which saw Mr Fetterman taking on Dr Mehmet Oz in one of the most anticipated moments of their bitterly fought campaign.
Mr Fetterman addressed his recent stroke head-on, but struggled at times when answering questions from the moderators. With less than two weeks to go till election day, polling shows that he and Dr Oz are neck-and-neck.
The hosts of ABC’s The View sprung to Fetterman’s defence over his speech problems, describing Dr Oz’s behaviour at the debate as “bullying” and “unempathetic”.
In the wider race, the president’s party almost always performs poorly during the midterm elections, and recent polling from FiveThirtyEight seems to show history repeating itself.
