Overview It's Up For Debate is a live political debate tour from GSE Worldwide in which two speakers from opposite sides of the aisle argue seven topics on stage, and the audience votes after each topic on who made the stronger case. Each event runs about two hours, with equal time for both sides. The 2026 topic list named healthcare, immigration, economic opportunity, foreign policy, women's rights, media and civic trust, and the tour was timed to the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections. GSE Worldwide is a New York sports and entertainment company with talent, events and advisory divisions, and it had more than 275 clients under management in 2026. On site The format is a moderated debate with a clear set of rules rather than a panel. Ticketing for the 2026 Atlanta stop at Pullman Yards sold open seating by section: VIP rows front and center at the stage, four price sections running back across the floor, every seat facing the stage. Doors were set for an hour before the 7 p.m. start, and a limited meet-and-greet tier took ticket holders backstage to meet the speakers before the show. Audience The room is a seated, ticket-buying crowd that takes part rather than watches: it votes on every topic. GSE's launch announcement also described nationwide digital participation, so viewers outside the venue can weigh in alongside the room. Talent and Influencers GSE launched the tour in August 2026 with Charlie Rose, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist, as moderator. The launch pairings set Andrew Yang, Bakari Sellers or Michael Starr Hopkins against Scott Jennings or Marjorie Taylor Greene, city by city. When the Atlanta stop was rescheduled in 2026 it was rebilled as Bakari Sellers against Marjorie Taylor Greene, with Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution moderating. Brand presence Polymarket presented the 2026 tour, and its name ran in the event title on the ticket listings. The property describes its sponsor integrations as custom builds that span on-site and digital channels.
