Herschel Walker, a college football legend in the state of Georgia, has filed paperwork to run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) in the 2022 midterm elections.
Walker, a close confidant of former president Donald Trump, filed the paperwork Tuesday afternoon after registering to vote in Georgia earlier this month. A resident of Texas, Walker will return to his home state to establish residency in preparation for the 15-month campaign.
When he arrives, Walker will instantly become the most recognizable Republican seeking Warnock's seat. Walker led Georgia to its most recent national championship, in 1980, and still boasts near-universal name recognition in the state.
Warnock was one of two Democrats, along with Jon Ossoff, to win runoff elections in Georgia in January, tipping the balance of power in Congress away from Republicans. Warnock won the seat vacated by Johnny Isakson in 2019, so his seat is up for election next year, rather than the customary six years.

My favorite Georgia Bulldog....Go Herschel!
Yaaaay!!
He has my vote!
Will Herschel Walker be stronger than the fraud machine in GA?
He is a conservative. Go for it.
Good News
Oh you Herschel Walker!!
Could be interesting. Watch for the Democrat smear machine to crank up soon.
Great news! I have no doubt he will win the vote. I hope he wins the count.
My favorite ex-Viking too.
Here’s to a long Senate and who knows what else career..
Good. Now will the Georgia GOP clamp down on the blatant cheating and ballot stuffing during the election?
Well, the word in Georgia Democrat circles is that Herschel now favors Alabama to Win over Georgia
So I’ve heard
Just watch. After the first negative BS story is fabricated to trash Walker, half of the FReepers will dump on him too.
Ok I will go against the grain. What does he bring to the table beyond name recognition? Does he know how to handle himself in a debate? He supported Donald Trump and got his endorsement. Thats it.
I think this is a terrible idea, and get ready for 6 more years of Warnock.
At least he won’t wear a baseball cap all the time in public.
One of the few football players I can ever remember actually liking.
The vast majority never meant a thing.
