Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker has made a lot of mistakes this campaign — many of them the kind of rookie mistakes you see from first-time office-seekers.
But Walker has also had an issue with credibility that his opponent, incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, has taken full advantage of.
Walker has a lot of ancient history that shouldn’t play a role in the campaign, but Warnock and the Democrats have been hitting it for all its worth. And in the debate on Friday night — the only debate on the schedule — Warnock failed to get any traction from those issues because Walker was ready with an effective counter.
Walker was obviously well-prepared and in fighting trim. while Warnock’s low-key approach didn’t match the urgency of the moment.
Walker entered the debate facing enormous pressure to quell concerns that he was unfit for office fueled by a spate of damaging reports about Walker’s history, including his violent behavior toward women and the abortion reports, which he again rejected on Friday.
He was desperate to stem the tide of split-ticket Republican voters who back Kemp’s reelection campaign but were wavering over whether to cast a ballot for Walker.
