Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren hopes to hold a final debate in Massachusetts, after the previously scheduled debate for Tuesday was canceled due to Superstorm Sandy.

“Our focus over the next 48 hours must be on public safety and holding the utilities accountable for restoring power as soon as possible,” said a statement Tuesday from Warren campaign manager Mindy Myers. “Elizabeth believes that the final televised debate should occur, and we have contacted the debate organizers and let them know she would be available to participate on Thursday evening.”

Republican Sen. Scott Brown announced late Monday afternoon that he was pulling out of the debate. Later in the evening, the Warren campaign also announced that she believed the debate should not be held Tuesday.
