On Monday night, the two candidates running for U.S. Senate in Arizona debated at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism in Downtown Phoenix. The debate began like any other, the moderators would bring up and issue, one candidate would answer, and the other would rebuttal. Martha McSally, the Republican, is a two-term Congresswoman representing Arizona's second congressional district. The Democrat, Kyrsten Sinema has represents Arizona's ninth congressional district since 2013.

The candidates debated over Kavanaugh, immigration, health care, and the Republican tax law. You could see that the candidates did not agree on almost any issue. On Justice Brett Kavanaugh, McSally said she would have voted yes, whereas Sinema would have voted no. Sinema said that Kavanaugh was overly partisan and that he may have lied under oath. Sinema touted her ability to work across the aisle. During the debate, she mentioned several times that she is the "third-most independent" member of Congress. On the other hand, McSally has voted in line with her party 92% of the time.

When the debate turned to healthcare, things became contentious. Sinema has made healthcare a central issue of her Senate campaign. Sinema brought up the fact that McSally voted for the repeal of Obamacare that would get rid of protections for people with pre-existing conditions. McSally called Sinema's statement a "flat-out lie."

Near the end of the debate, the last question was on the topic of climate change. Sinema answered the question, but when the moderators turned to McSally, she was visibly frustrated. She was disgruntled over the fact that the military had not been brought up in their discussion. McSally attacked Sinema over the comments from a radio show in 2003, reported last week by CNN. The host made a hypothetical comment about joining the Taliban, to which Sinema responded: "I don't care if you want to do that, go ahead." McSally turned to Sinema and demanded an apology. She called what Sinema did "treason." Sinema did not answer to what McSally said, rather accusing McSally of running a negative campaign.

The two candidates did not look at each other once during the debate, which seemed odd to me. Usually, if you are talking to another person, you address them directly. Overall, the debate seemed normal up until those last few minutes. The candidates do not have any more live debates up until November 6th. Until then, they will be campaigning until the last second to win Arizona's Senate seat.
