Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Aug. 3, 2021, left, and Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker speaking in Perry, Ga., Sept. 25, 2021. Walker is on a bus tour across the Peach State, trying to use his football fame to his advantage while pushing conservative values.“You should ask yourself if the person you’re voting for has actually demonstrated any interest in the subject matter and you can tell if you listen to him talk. I think character matters,” Warnock said.
“My opponent Senator Warnock is campaigning, the people on the left, they’re campaigning they’re lying to you. They’ll tell you that this is the new normal, they’ll try to get you off track they’ll try to mislead you and tell you this is the way it’s gonna be and I’m telling you there’s a new way. And I remember my offensive linemen use to say to me, Herschel follow me and I’ll take you to the promised land,” Walker said.
The governor’s race could also be a very close one. Kemp and Abrams went head to head with narrow margins in 2018.
