Former University of Georgia football icon Herschel Walker will join next year’s race to represent the Peach State in the US Senate, former President Donald Trump said Tuesday.
“He told me he’s going to, and I think he will,” Trump told “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” of the 59-year-old Walker. “I had dinner with him a week ago. He’s a great guy. He’s a patriot, and he’s a very loyal person. He’s a very strong person. They love him in Georgia … He is a fantastic guy, and they love him.
“So I think he’d win,” Trump added. “I think it would be very, very hard to beat Herschel. I mean, they have the ballads. They made ballads to Herschel. They sing them all the time. They still sing them. So I think beating him would be very tough, and I think he’s going to run.”

Hershel has been an icon for well over 2 decades. I’ll vote for him in second, one reason and one reason only, HE IS A PATRIOT!!!
I lived in Georgia. I never heard the ballads. Of course, I was near the border, and I doubt the Alabama and Auburn fans sang them.
Run Herschel, run!
I remember when his shoe came off in his first play for the Vikings ...
Met him while he was on a USO tour. Good guy.
Hershel is large in GA. He’s smart and has convictions. Would he go against osoff or warlock?
Warnock
Warnock was elected for the short term. There will be no race card.
Shouldn’t Walker announce this?
What if he gets traded to the Minnesota at he last minute?
Probably my favorite football player of all time.
Even though the fella played quite a few years for the despised Dallas Cowboys, he logged a few incredible years for my Beloved Philadelphia Eagles.
A quiet spoken, considerate, contemplative man.
I’d welcome him into our Senate and will be contributing to him, when he gets his campaign organized.
Can’t imagine a better GA Senate Candidate than he, although I’m not terribly tuned into GA politics.
Warnock was elected for the short term. There will be no race card.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There will be an Uncle Tom card.
remember, the Congressional Black Caucus would not admit Senator Tim Scott. You gots to be black and you gots to be a Dem plantation slave. Not enough to be just black.
But now there will be a Congressional Black Freedom Caucus with Scott and Walker!
What makes Hershel Walker the best candidate for the Senate seat? I’m hoping it’s something more than “their guy’s black so we need a black guy for our side”.
Damn right there will. You can also expect a University of Georgia card.
He’s got my vote.
I will wait to her Hersh’ say it himself. That will indicate how much he really wants this. He probably has many people telling him “You OUGHT to run for X or Y, you’ll be great!”
Is he willing to take the risk and make that time commitment for campaigning? Is he willing to take the verbal abuse that most conservatives get nowadays? CNN will be telling big whopper lies about him. Everybody knows it. Now is the time to be fully honest about it.
He’s smart, patriotic, and has morals and integrity. He is everything we used to demand in a senator. Really good man.
He’s a legendary and loved figure in Georgia - very high, positive name ID.
But the latter is also a good reason...not a reason that should be a reason, but nonetheless in the present day and times we live in. Of course if more and more Republicans start getting elected that are minorities it would become something that no longer matters to the media...which would actually be a good thing. It isn’t about “playing their game”, but destroying it...because it no longer fits the purpose if Republicans end up with parity or a majority of minority office holders.
