Kaine, Stewart prepare to face off in debates

Outside trading jabs on social media, Virginians will soon get to see Senator Tim Kaine and his Republican challenger Corey Stewart go face-to-face in televised debates. The candidates offer stark differences on issues such as gun control, immigration and abortion rights. Jim Dau, state director of A-A-R-P Virginia, hopes the debates will help provide those votes with the information they need to make a decision. “This year, we expect candidates to answer questions we know are important on topics including Social Security, Medicare, prescription drug costs and affordable quality health care for everybody.”

Kaine and Stewart will be featured this coming Saturday in a candidate forum. The two will face-off again in September and October in other televised debates.
