The retired footballer is running against three other Republicans to unseat Democrat Raphael Warnock in the 2022 midterms.
Controversial ex-football star Herschel Walker has raised nearly $4 million in contributions for his Trump-endorsed Senate campaign in Georgia, where he has emerged as the GOP frontrunner vying to unseat Democrat Raphael Warnock in next year’s critical midterm elections when the GOP hopes to win back that seat (and the Senate), which they barely lost in a special election in January. Walker’s bare-bones campaign website does not include details on his policies. He and Trump have been friends for nearly 40 years, and Walker was among those to spread false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election that Trump lost. While the ex-president’s backing may help, Republicans including Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have privately expressed their serious doubts about his viability as a candidate in recent months.
