Walker wasn't the best candidate. Warnock waged a smart campaign by focusing on moral issues that don't sit well with Republicans like allegations that Walker was abusing to his ex wife and son. He had ads featuring "Republicans" saying they couldn't vote for Walker. He also claimed Walker was unprepared and only thought about vampires & werewolves not putting food on Georgian's tables. Finally, he tied Walker to Trump and like it or not Trump has become POISON as shown in the 2020 results.

His prime appeal to women was on abortion BUT that didn't hurt Kemp who singed the heartbeat bill.

Trump's endorsements were a disaster in key competitive races. Walker didn't have nearly the funds to compete with Warnock. McConnell spent money, Kemp (not seen as in league with Trump yet no different than Walker on abortion after signing the heartbeat bill, Kemp won easily) appeared in ads for Walker. Hot shot DeSantis endorsed only Monday---YAWN!

The entire slate of state executives are Republicans who won easily and Walker barely made it to a run off. It makes no sense for Georgia to choose Republicans again and again but have two Democrats in the Senate. We need to target Ossoff in 2026. Maybe Kemp will run.

It might be about time to scrap the run-off in Georgia. Only GA & LA have such things. David Perdue would've won reelection in 2020 if there hadn't been a runoff for Republicans to sit home (because Trump told them to).
