The last Senate seat of the midterm election is happening tonight, with Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) facing off against Herschel Walker (R) in Georgia's runoff.
ATLANTA — The last Senate seat of the midterm election is up for grabs in Georgia Tuesday night — the latest in a string of close elections there that looks destined to continue in the next presidential race and beyond.
Georgia won’t be on the Senate battleground map next time — but it will be hotly contested in the presidential race after becoming a new Southern swing state in recent years. Democrat Stacey Abrams’ close loss to GOP Gov. Brian Kemp in 2018 was soon followed by President Joe Biden’s victory in the state and the pair of Senate wins months later.
Walker was repeatedly dogged by scandal throughout the general election campaign — one of a series of candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump in the 2022 primaries who ran into trouble in the fall campaigns. . And the Walker campaign has brought Warnock’s church’s business into the race. Ebenezer Baptist, where Warnock is a senior pastor, is the part owner of a low-income apartment building that filed to evict some tenants for low amounts of owed rent.
