The Republican leader began by nominating Herschel Walker as his choice for U.S. ambassador to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Walker, a staunch Trump ally, ran for the U.S. Senate in 2022 as a candidate from Georgia.

Trump has spent the past six weeks since he was elected back to the White House by filling out his Cabinet and other key roles in his administration. Other recent ambassador picks include Kimberly Guilfoyle for ambassador to Greece, and former ambassador to El Salvador Ronald Johnson for ambassador to Mexico. The former president praised Walker as a man who has spent decades as an ambassador to children, military servicemembers, and athletes around the world. Walker played as a running...

Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker closed the year — after his November general election and December runoff — with more than $5 million in cash on hand, new filings show. Walker's campaign filed its campaign finance reports covering the end of the runoff period through the end of the year late last week, documents that provide new transparency into how the campaign ended the political cycle. The campaign spent its war chest significantly in the final weeks — taking in $15 million and spending $19.8 million between Nov. 17 and Dec. 28 (while the runoff was on Dec. 6,...

A staffer for Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign has alleged to The Daily Beast that longtime Republican activist Matt Schlapp made “sustained and unwanted and unsolicited” sexual contact with him while the staffer was driving Schlapp back from an Atlanta bar this October. The staffer said the incident occurred the night of Oct. 19, when Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union and lead organizer for the influential Conservative Political Action Conference, “groped” and “fondled” his crotch in his car against his will after buying him drinks at two different bars. The staffer described Schlapp, who had traveled to Georgia for...

Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams‘ campaign owes more than $1 million to vendors following her second failed attempt to win the state’s governorship, according to a new report. Despite raising more than $100 million during her campaign, Ms. Abrams, hailed by many in her party as an organizing and voter-mobilizing star, has left her 180 former campaign staffers in a lurch by cutting off their pay a week after the Nov. 8 election, according to the political news website Axios. “People have told me they have no idea how they’re going to pay their rent in January,” a former staffer told...

S.E. Cupp, a "CNN Republican," apparently thinks it's cool to use a vulgar term to describe Herschel Walker. On today's CNN This Morning, in a post-mortem panel on Walker's campaign, Cupp said that Republicans might have had a better result in Georgia: "If you had a strong Republican leadership willing to say to Donald Trump, this candidate is crap and we're not going to win with this candidate." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Polls have closed in Georgia, where Sen. Raphael Warnock and GOP nominee Herschel Walker face off in a Senate runoff election

GOP Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says that every member in his party needs to hold former President Trump “accountable” for Sen. Raphael Warnock’s (D-Ga.) victory in Tuesday’s runoff election. “The only way to explain this is candidate quality,” Duncan said in an interview with CNN, alluding to the controversies surrounding failed Republican challenger Herschel Walker, whom Trump had strongly encouraged to run. Duncan added that he hopes Warnock’s victory will be a wake-up call for the GOP to examine their future with Trump as the face of the party. “If we don’t take our medicine here, it’s our fault....

Hollywood celebrities are making a last-ditch effort to push incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) over the finish line in Georgia’s runoff election Tuesday. As part of their carpetbag of tricks, they are smearing Trump-backed Republican candidate Herschel Walker as a subliterate dummy who is unable to speak in complete sentences. Stars including Rob Reiner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Henry Winkler, Debra Messing, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host Trevor Noah all stumped for Warnock this week, with some of them taking mean-spirited digs at Walker.

During the Pennsylvania Senate race, people who pointed to John Fetterman's patent inability—in light of his major, recent, stroke—to do the job as senator were met by the liberal media with accusations of "ableism," and flat denials that he had any limitations. It was only after Fetterman won the race that his handlers admitted that he would not be able to respond to direct questions, given the continuing effects of his stroke. So, when on today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski said: "This is not a matter of left or right. This is a matter of, can he speak to the...

Leaders of the New Black Panther Party announced they would be deploying armed guards to a number of polling places in the Atlanta area to monitor "white supremacist violence" as voters cast their ballots in the Georgia Senate runoff election. "No one will come and touch, harm, threaten, do anything to any person walking into that voting booth to exercise that right," Khallida Ramla Bastet said at a press conference on Monday. "This is a legal position that we are taking. We are in position so that if anything happens to anyone, we are here to offer you legal representation....

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday on her show “The Reid Out ” that black voters felt disrespected by Republicans choosing Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker. Panelist and activist LaTosha Brown said, “Black people are upset. They feel insulted. They feel insulated that the Republicans would pick a candidate and because he was a ballplayer, that in some way, and if they planted this narrative that black men were not going to vote and are upset with the Democratic Party, those two things were enough to fool us. We’re far more sophisticated. There’s a certain level of feeling insulted,...

VoterGA released supporting evidence showing Herschel Walker did have 20,000 votes vanish from the amounts being reported by the media during the recent November election. We reported previously on suspect reporting in the 2022 Senate race in Georgia. At one point in the evening, a large chunk of ballots was reported for Democrat Raphael Warnock that put him into the lead. We also reported today that Warnock benefited more than any candidate in the US in the 2022 election from millions in donations from unemployed actors over the past year. This is criminal. Today, VoterGA announced that they found evidence...

The New Georgia Project had $11 million in its investment account in August when it set out to pay $2.45 million in cash for a sprawling Atlanta compound. Less than two months later, the organization dismissed half its leadership staff, citing a lack of funds. A series of internal documents and correspondences obtained by the Washington Free Beacon reveals the bizarre circumstances surrounding the real estate deal, which several parties close to the matter say are indicative of a leadership crisis within the Stacey Abrams-founded group. The deal was spearheaded by Erin Ferguson, a junior New Georgia Project staffer who...
