ATLANTA (AP) — Herschel Walker on Tuesday filed paperwork to enter the U.S. Senate race in Georgia after months of speculation, joining other Republicans seeking to unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in 2022.
The 59-year-old Walker joins the race with high name recognition, known for winning a Heisman Trophy in 1982 as a University of Georgia running back. Perhaps more importantly in today’s Republican Party, he carries the backing of former President Donald Trump.
Walker has never run for office and will likely face scrutiny over his turbulent personal history as well as policy stances. But if he emerges from the Republican primary, the Senate contest would feature two Black men vying for a seat in the heart of the Deep South.

Here's what Herschel Walker will do to Warnock:
And another black man for governor!
Vernon Jones... an x dem who saw the light and a Trump man too.
>> “two black men vying for the senate in the Deep South “
I’d be happy with a Conservative Black in every position of power.
Yeh, I’m not that hyped. I wanted Doug Collins.
No one is asking what are Walker's stances on key issues. The proper role of the federal government. Or how the Dems and media will leverage his gay son against him, forcing him to choose between being a "moderate" Republican or with Evangelicals.
We made this mistake in 2006, when Michael Steele and other black Republicans ran, and got their butts handed to him.
Why doesn't Walker run for Mayor of Atlanta?
He couldn't even beat Loeffler last time around.
Wow, you’re comparing Herschel to Michael Steele? Walker has been very vocal about his views over the years and would be more conservative than most of the Republicans in the Senate right now.
Well, there is that!
IN ADDITION, he is an anti-American LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat!
I wonder if Georgia can conduct an honest election in the Primary and General Election in 2022?
It’s not the color, it’s the policies. In fact, many blacks are more culturally conservative than most whites.
Of course.
Exactly..... Trump endorses him and they all start drooling like (bull)dogs.
I thought Doug was running for Governor
He has been shut ne of Trumps best friends for decades. He has always had conservative leaning and becomes more conservative as each day passes.
The man needs $10 million - stat.
I know nothing about him or his policies
Any good ?
I like an outsider running generally -similar to Rand who was a doctor.
That's right. One represents the Gospel of Jesus Christ and one represents the communist darkness of Satan.
