Five Republican candidates vying for the Pennsylvania Senate seat engaged in a debate at Grove City College Wednesday evening.

The debate precedes the May 17 primary where a candidate will be chosen to succeed Republican Senator Pat Toomey, who is not running for reelection.

Broadcaster Greta Van Susteren, who has worked for Fox News, CNN and MSNBC and KDKA news anchor Rick Dayton questioned candidates about the draft opinion from the Supreme Court that could overturn Roe v. Wade, illegal immigration and the energy industry in Pennsylvania.

Van Susteren said that all candidates claimed to be pro-life and asked how they felt regarding the recent leak of Supreme Court documents.
