BACKGROUND:
In September, SCETV and The Post and Courier announced a partnership around plans to host and cover debates for two races – the First Congressional District race between Democrat Congressman Joe Cunningham and Republican challenger State Representative Nancy Mace and the U.S. Senate race between Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democrat challenger Jaime Harrison. Initially scheduled for Oct. 21, the U.S. Senate debate was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict. Both campaigns and media organizations have been working diligently since that time to find a suitable date to hold the rescheduled debate.
MEDIA NOTE:
For press wishing to cover the event on site, a mult box will be available. Additionally, SCETV will provide details regarding a satellite feed prior to Friday’s debate. Those that wish to attend and cover the event in person should RSVP to Jeremy Cauthen at jcauthen@scetv.org.
