Tonight (Tuesday) at 7 p.m., Gov. Tim Walz and Republican challenger Scott Jensen will face off in a debate inside a Rochester TV studio.

It’s only one of two debates left in the race, which pits Walz, a first term Democrat from Mankato, against Jensen, a family physician and former state senator from Chaska.

It doesn’t appear either debate will be televised in the Twin Cities, but both will be livestreamed.

One link to watch tonight’s debate, hosted by KTTC, is via that station’s website — kttc.com/livestream/ — as well as its feeds on Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku, the station says.

The event will also be broadcast on several other greater Minnesota stations owned by Gray Television in communities ranging from Fargo to Duluth. Another livestream option is KVLY’s Valley News Live feed at valleynewslive.com/livestream/.

No Republican has won a statewide election in Minnesota since former Gov. Tim Pawlenty was re-elected in 2006. But recent polls have the Walz-Jensen race close, and with the historical headwinds faced by the party in power during non-presidential years, Republicans believe they have a chance to take back control of state government. Currently, only the state Senate is in Republican hands.

Dan Wolfe, an anchor for Northern News Now, will moderate a panel of questioners that includes him and three other anchors from southern Minnesota stations. There will be no live audience, so you ‘ll have to take to social media if you’re more interested in reactions.

The last debate will be Oct. 23, hosted by Minnesota Public Radio.
