Analysis: Will old rules of politics apply to Herschel Walker? They did 2 years ago to a N.C. Democrat.
Herschel Walker this month in Georgia? No, Cal Cunningham, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in North Carolina two years ago.
Cunningham’s fate is, by no means, a definitive prologue about what will happen to Walker, the former football starhis child in 2009, after he said he became a born-again Christian who was opposed to abortion rights. In that regard, Cunningham and Walker followed a page from the Donald Trump playbook: Barrel ahead when scandal happens, don’t focus on the issue, and accuse your opponents of worse. It worked in 2016.
But Cunningham fell 115,000 votes shy of Biden — and 265,000 votes off Cooper’s victorious vote tally in the governor’s race. Those results suggest that core Democrats, many of whom did not have deep ties to Cunningham, abandoned him.
