in the top percentile of his class, and his success in running businesses, including one of the largest minority-owned food-service companies in the country. He has also cited his work in law enforcement, his graduation from U.G.A. These are his primary qualifications for representing Georgia in the Senate. Kemp easily beat Perdue, and Trump’s grievance left an open lane for Walker to pursue the Senate seat.ĭuring three seasons with the University of Georgia Bulldogs, Walker, who is now sixty, recorded more than five thousand rushing yards. A Trump supporter in Marietta asked Ronna McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chair, “Why should we vote in this election when we know it’s already decided?” After Warnock and Ossoff won, Trump, in a fit of internecine score-settling, pushed Perdue, a viable contender to take on Warnock this November (Warnock’s victory was in a special election), to run as a primary challenger to Brian Kemp, the Republican Governor, who had also rejected Trump’s entreaty to throw out the 2020 results. He did so irrespective of the impact that such claims could have on other Republican candidates, including Georgia’s two incumbent senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, who faced runoff elections against their respective Democratic opponents, Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Having lost Georgia in the 2020 election, he launched a crusade to invalidate the results there, famously pressing the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” him more than eleven thousand votes-an act that is now the subject of a criminal probe-while he insisted to supporters that the state’s election had been rigged. The tale of how Walker came to be the Republican nominee is a clear example of the warping effect that Trump has had on the Party nationally. Yet in some polls he currently trails his opponent, the Democratic senator Raphael Warnock, by just a few points, and it seems that, no matter the final outcome, Walker will receive the votes of millions of Georgians this fall. If there is a joke being told, though, Walker almost certainly is not in on it. Amid the tide of criticism that his remarks generated, his campaign resorted to a dodge that Donald Trump’s team had often used in response to his most indefensible campaign comments: they were just a joke. Then, now, we got to clean that back up.”įighting climate change, in Walker’s telling, is as productive as trying to sweep sand off the beach. He explained, “Since we don’t control the air, our good air decided to float over to China’s bad air, so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move. It was a challenge Herschel Walker, a former N.F.L. candidate’s erroneous comments to stand out. Given the decades of Republican denials, obfuscations, and outright falsehoods on the subject of climate change, it would be difficult for nearly any G.O.P. Binding professional restored.A week ago, the Republican Party’s nominee for the United States Senate from Georgia explained his opposition to the Green New Deal.
