Herschel Walker in Georgia is the last Republican figure endorsed by the former president to have been rejected by voters.
Herschel Walker’s defeat in the Georgia Senate run-off election to Raphael Warnock has capped off what turned out to be a miserable midterms for Donald Trump.
The Democrat incumbent beat the Republican candidate endorsed by the former president on Tuesday night, achieving 51.4 percent of the votes compared to Walker’s 48.6.
The result now means the Democrats have a 51-seat majority in the Senate, with the party already regaining control of the upper chamber in November. Even if Walker won Tuesday’s run-off election, the Democrats would still control the Senate in a 50-50 split by way of Vice President’s Kamala Harris‘ tie-casting vote.
