President Trump has urged Georgians to cast their ballots for GOP U.S. Senate nominee Herschel Walker as early voting in the heated Senate runoff election kicks off in the Peach State. “Georgia, get out and vote for the GREAT Herschel Walker,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. “HE WILL MAKE YOU PROUD!!!”
In the wake of the 2022 midterms, Walker’s race with incumbent Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock was notably tight, prompting a runoff election.
Walker is holding a slight lead over incumbent Democrat Sen. Warnock, according to this poll.Via RSBN, Walker’s campaign raised $11 million in the week after Election Day, indicating massive support for the Senate candidate in the great state of Georgia.
According to a poll from The Phillips Academy, Walker is leading Warnock by one percent, with Walker at 48 percent to Warnock’s 47 percent. Per their survey:
“Importantly, the 1% lead is within the margin of error (3.3%) and is significantly less than the number of undecided voters (5%).
Critical to Walker’s slight advantage are his narrow leads among independents and suburban voters. Walker maintains a 3% lead among independents, as well as a 3% lead among suburban voters—and, in past Georgia elections, these swing demographics have determined the outcome.”
Walker was endorsed by President Donald Trump in 2021. “Herschel Walker is a friend, a Patriot, and an outstanding American who is going to be a GREAT United States Senator,” Trump said in his endorsement. “He embodies the ‘America First’ and the winning spirit of Georgia.”
Walker has forged a tough and effective campaign in Georgia, strongly challenging his incumbent Democrat opponent. “I love Georgia,” Walker wrote on Twitter in November. “Growing up in Wrightsville, I learned that anyone can live the American dream if they work hard and put their faith in God. Every American child deserves to have a chance to live their own American dream. That’s what I’ll fight for in the Senate.”
My county usually votes about 65-70% Republican but turnout on Monday was huge and it worries me a little bit. I am 61 and was probably the third youngest person there. Large minority turnout also. Lots of old people in this county still think FDR saved their families back in the 30’s. Now it could have just been the first day and old people always go first but curious as to what anyone else in Georgia is seeing.
Trump needs to stay out of this and let the RINOs win this for us.
0% chance Walker wins this, by the way.
I’m thinking you are right. The Dems will get EVERYBODY out to the polls, but the Republicans have made no effort to endorse/support Walker.
I like Walker’s politics, but I don’t think he was a good candidate at all.
Hardly. The facetiousness is written into the remark - unless you see RINOism as a force for good in the world. Just for the record I think the wormy sleazeballs are not a force for good.

Early Vote in person or drop off ballot in person the day of or day before the election.
Don’t take a chance on an AZ redux where election machines malfunction on election day but don’t let them be in possession of your ballot for 2-3 weeks either which gives them time to mess with it.
To me Hersal made a HUGE mistake being joined at the hip with Graham far to many of the base CAN NOT STAND two faced Graham and they won’t come out to vote!! Then of course we have MANY of the base that are completely FED UP with the republicans doing NOTHING about corrupt elections and they won’t come out either they just DON’T GIVE A DAMN anymore, the republicans are USELESS!! McConnell betrayed us in the general in MANY states and put his money re-electing Murkowski WHY IN THE HELL should the base care anymore!!
Just curious as I do not know, how much help as Walker received from McConnell in the re-match?
As well it should. It doesn't matter how many Republicans turn out to vote. They'll just produce as many fraudulent votes as they need to surpass them.
I voted. I voted for Hershel, but here’s what I think has ALREADY happened.
The election is over. Warnocks vote count has already been tabulated (with more votes, if necessary, to be found).
Democrats will not lose this election. They will win by hook or crook. The tell will be if no winner is announced after the polls close and the count goes for days...
I think Hershel won outright in November and only fraud caused this runoff.
I really, really hope I’m wrong.
Won't it be very comical (and real) to see the Walker / Wernoff run-off results in more votes than registered voters.
If you say so.
Yep, the fix is in! The fake pastor is going to all black churches, convincing the stupid fake Christians to vote for him. And they’re coming out in droves! Those long lines voting in Georgia this weekend weren’t meant for Herschel they were meant for the fake pastor! The dishonest judge saw to that!
Excellent to see President Trump with a strong endorsement for Walker. There is still time for a big Trump-Walker Rally in Georgia. Walker will win by a large margin and be a factor in 2024.
The Dems are currently digging them out of their graves and their backsides.
