Klobuchar and Bills agree to end of election year debate

DFL Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Republican Kurt Bills have agreed to participate in a U.S Senate debate on Nov. 4. The debate, hosted by MPR News, will be held at 7pm on the Sunday before election. It's traditionally the last debate before voters head to the polls on Election Day. The debate will be hosted by MPR's Morning Edition Host Cathy Wurzer.

Klobuchar and Bills will also debate live on MPR News at our State Fair booth on Thursday, Aug. 30. MPR Political Editor Mike Mulcahy will moderate that debate.

Bills and Klobuchar have met in one debate this election cycle. They both participated in the FarmFest debate last week. You can listen to that debate here.

Update: A Klobuchar spokesman said a debate in the Duluth area is also in the works.
