Black conservatives in Georgia say identity isn’t driving their support for Herschel Walker. “My vote is strictly about control of the Senate. Period. We need every seat,” one voter told NBCBLK.
Still, the race between Walker and Warnock, the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church here, appears neck-and-neck, with little change in polling since the abortion allegations surfaced against Walker.
He joked that he would cast his vote while “holding my nose … and will probably close my eyes, too. But he’s getting my vote.”Chaka Cox, 50, a lifelong Republican who works as a medical supply company supervisor and barbershop owner, was equally adamant about his support of Walker. He said he believes the choice for Georgia Senate comes down to “which candidate is going to be in the best interest of Georgian people and, in a bigger sense, the nation.” For Cox, who was born and raised in Atlanta, that choice was easy. “I know Herschel Walker votes more conservative. And that’s the main thing I’m looking at.”
She said Warnock should be focused on “encouraging Black young men and women to get married before having children they can’t afford.”
