.KatieBrittforAL and RepMoBrooks are squabbling over who pulled the plug on the one scheduled debate ahead of the Alabama Senate runoff.
Brooks, the underdog after finishing 15.5 percentage points behind Britt in last month’s primary, is accusing the front-runner of “being too scared to debate” and claiming she is responsible for canceling a media-hosted faceoff previously set for one week before the June 21 runoff. The Britt campaign is calling the congressman a liar, arguing he is “desperate” to improve his runoff prospects and would use any debate as a platform to launch ad hominem attacks.
“Katie Britt’s debate refusal is an admission of profound weakness at a time America needs fighters in the U.S. Senate, not pushovers,” Brooks added.“Mo Brooks doesn’t want a debate; he wants a circus,” countered Britt campaign spokesman Sean Ross in a statement. “Katie won’t participate in the final circus act of Mo’s career — she will continue to work tirelessly and travel to every corner of Alabama to share her conservative message, listen to Alabamians, and answer their questions.
Britt, formerly Shelby's chief of staff, finished first in the state’s GOP Senate primary with 44.7% of the vote, a strong performance but short of the 50% she needed to avoid a runoff with Brooks, who garnered 29.2%. Britt won 62 of 67 counties, going from an unknown political insider at the outset of the campaign last summer to the well-known favorite for the nomination heading into this month’s runoff.
