HARRISBURG (AP) — The Latest a debate on the campus of Penn State University between three Democrats running for a chance to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey in the fall election (all times Eastern Daylight Time):
8:30 p.m.
The three Pennsylvania Democrats seeking their party's nomination to challenge first-term Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey in November are taking questions from college students in an hour-long debate on Penn State University's campus.
Saturday night's debate between John Fetterman, Katie McGinty and Joe Sestak began with questions about how to improve education, how to close the wealth gap and whether putting up trade barriers to protect domestic workers are worth the cost.
The candidates made similar points on most, although Fetterman says the country should go immediately to a $15 an hour minimum wage, while Sestak says it should be done in steps to protect against job losses.
Sestak also says fair trade deals are possible if done right, but McGinty and Fetterman were more resolute in their rejection of trade deals.
