Georgia Senate election between Warnock and Walker headed to runoff
Warnock, the senior pastor at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church where Martin Luther King Jr. used to preach, narrowly defeated Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler in a 2021 special election and was running to serve a full six-year term. Walker spent the past couple of months tying Warnock to President Biden — who remains very unpopular among Georgia voters — and blamed both for the record inflation plaguing the nation and for the rise in crime.
Herschel Walker, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, speaks at a campaign event in Hiram, Georgia, on Sunday. A TV ad by Warnock’s campaign that launched over the summer highlighted past comments by Walker saying that he had a"dry mist" that would"kill any COVID on your body." Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., waves after giving a speech at his election night party at Atlanta Marriott Marquis in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday.
