Mixed50% confidence7 sourcesOct 12, 2026A debate is scheduled for October 12, 2026, on ArkansasTV at 1:30pm CT and 7:00pm CT.The Oct. 12, 2026 date is well supported, and two secondary sources list 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. for the U.S. Senate debate on Arkansas TV. However, ArkansasTV's own primary announcement gives 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. for the Oct. 12 debate, so the times conflict across sources. As of 2026-10-12, the claim's times fit the Senate debate per some sources but not the primary schedule.True90% confidence10 sourcesOct 12, 2026Tom Cotton will not be at the debate.The claim that Tom Cotton would not be at the debate is supported: multiple independent outlets (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Arkansas Advocate, THV11, KHBS, KARK) report he skipped the Monday, Oct. 12, 2026 Arkansas U.S. Senate debate, and a Reddit moderator announcement notes he declined. The claim was made on 2026-10-12, the day of the debate, so it was true on that date; the claimant's passage is consistent with the extraction, though the Reddit source is a weaker, non-authoritative corroboration.
