The candidates for Indiana's second congressional district took part in a debate.

Incumbent Representative Jackie Walorski (R) is seeking another term in the U.S. House while attorney Pat Hackett (D) is challenging her on the Democratic ticket. Much of the debate focused on healthcare, specifically the coronavirus pandemic and Obamacare, as well as the American economy.

Walorski called President Trump's leadership through the coronavirus "incredible."

Hackett called the White House's response to the pandemic "appalling" and that Walorski has allowed it to happen. Hackett said Walorski has opposed any effort to give relief to the people of this district and the American people the last six months.

Walorski disagreed, pointing to a bill from the Senate that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not bringing to the floor.

On healthcare, Hackett said Walorski was wrong to vote in favor of efforts to get rid of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate saying that it's because of that that insurance premiums on the ACA marketplaces have gone up.

On the economy, Hackett said she would support an effort to repeal the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act pushed for by President Trump early in his presidency.

Walorski’s response:

This was the only time the two candidates will debate.
