U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes will face off in a debate televised on Kentucky Educational Television in October.
The agreement from the candidates comes after both campaigns have been slow to work with one another on a forum for a debate — both accepted separate debates early on with Grimes saying in June she would appear on KET.
McConnell sent Grimes an invitation to debate the day after the primary election. He proposed that two debate three times before Labor Day and that the debates be conducted in the freewheeling Lincoln-Douglas style with no audience and only one moderator.
On Monday, KET Executive Director and CEO Shae Hopkins said McConnell had accepted the invitation to debate.
“Today we received word from Sen. McConnell’s campaign that he has accepted our invitation to debate the issues with Sec. Grimes on Kentucky Tonight on October 13, 2014,” Hopkins said.

debate what? they probably agree on more than disagree.
Ditch the Post Turtle.
A debate consisting almost entirely of mudslinging and trying to draw distinctions over trivialities.
Ah, Paladin2, always here with your copy / paste rally cry from the Democrats, joining such other crusaders like George Soros (who has given the maximum contribution to Grimes).
Probably...though the host of this debate, Bill Goodman, should be a good moderator and try to keep them on point.
A debate consisting almost entirely of mudslinging and trying to draw distinctions over trivialities.
Or both of them trying to get the other one to make a gaffe a Political so it can be used as a Political Ad to run on TV from October 13th until November 4th.
Paladin2 was merely saying what many Conservatives said on here leading up to the KY Primary. You know those Conservatives that Mitch McConnel hates and vowed to “CRUSH”?And here you are Republican Wildcat proving that you are an a** kissing RINO lover. Why don’t you go on over to the DU? They will be glad to have you; I’m sure.
