The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question is incomplete because it did not say what kind of debate, the place, the date, and the scene or the debate, we can say that when journalists report debates in the newspaper, they have to elaborate a specific description, chronologically, maybe, of the way congressmen debated.
A typical scene of debate includes Congressmen of the two parties discussing and even arguing their proposals, trying to defend their ideas in order to win the debate. Sometimes the debate gets heated and it becomes something personal, although that is not professional.
