Warren, a two-term incumbent, holds a sizable lead in the polls over Deaton, a personal injury lawyer and cryptocurrency advocate. The two are competing for the only statewide race on the ballot.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren faced off against lawyer John Deaton in their second and final debate to discuss policies before the November election. The Senator attacked Deaton for his ties to the cryptocurrency industry in an apparent effort to appeal to voters.

The GOP candidate is new to Massachusetts and faces an uphill battle against a popular incumbent, as many voters know little about Deaton.

NEPM News and GBH News are hosting the second debate in Springfield at 7 p.m. Thursday evening. The post Watch: Elizabeth Warren and John Deaton battle again in second debate appeared first on Boston.

This was Deaton's biggest chance so far to introduce himself to a mass audience and engage Warren, who has been floating above the fray, only now airing her first TV ad. And he did his best to try to paint the two-term incumbent as a partisan "extremist" who has grown out of touch with the needs of Massachusetts during her 12 years in Washington.

Republican candidate John Deaton is challenging Warren, aiming to overturn Massachusetts' long-standing Democratic dominance.

Massachusetts voters this week had two chances to watch candidates duke it out as they compete for the only statewide race on the ballot.

BOSTON - Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and her Republican challenger, attorney John Deaton, will face off in their only Boston area debate on Tuesday, October 15. Hosted by WBZ-TV, the debate between Warren, the Democratic incumbent, and Deaton will be hosted by WBZ political analyst Jon Keller.
