Former President Barack Obama was in Georgia Thursday campaigning for Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the state’s runoff election, taking time on stage to mock Warnock’s Republican challenger, Herschel Walker.
In last month’s midterm, neither candidate reached the 50 percent of votes needed to win, which is the threshold dictated by Georgia law. Now some voters head back out to the polls on Tuesday, with others showing up in record numbers during early voting.
Obama also campaigned for Warnock, who seeks a second term, prior to the general Election Day, and told supporters Thursday that he had previously «made clear my thoughts on Mr. Walker.»
«I had to acknowledge that I did not think he had either the confidence, the character, the track record of service that would justify him representing Georgia in the United States Senate,» Obama said.
