Trump urges Herschel Walker to run for Senate in Georgia

Former President Trump is urging retired NFL star Herschel Walker to run against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) in Georgia, touting a close ally in a crucial midterm election.

“Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia? He would be unstoppable, just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the NFL,” Trump said in a statement. “He is also a GREAT person. Run, Herschel, run!”

Walker, who played for various NFL teams from 1985 to 1997, has been a longtime friend of the former president following his stint with the USFL’s New Jersey Generals, which Trump owned, and his days on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.


The former football star has not publicly expressed any plans to run for the Senate in Georgia, but he did wade into politics during the Trump administration, mainly to hold up the then-president.

Walker mounted a full-throated defense of Trump at last year’s Republican National Convention, saying he takes “it as a personal insult that people think I would have a 37-year friendship with a racist.”

“People who think that don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said. “Growing up in the Deep South, I've seen racism up close. I know what it is, and it isn’t Donald Trump.”

Walker is solid and would crush Warnock. On another positive note, Sununu is beating sitting Dem Senator Hassan in New Hampshire by a 47-41 margin. Take back the House and Senate and we can put some powerful breaks on the commie train.

Hopefully it won't be too late by then.

It's going to be harder to take back the Senate with so many GOP Senators retiring..

Won’t be easy...but they were pretty much all squishes so good riddance. We need more Herschel Walker types to run and that’s where President Trump is focusing his considerable talents right now. The open seat in Ohio should be easy to defend as Ohio has become strong Trump country.
