Georgia voters are set to decide the final Senate contest in the country, choosing to either reelect Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock or opt for Republican Herschel Walker.
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock Has Big Campaign Cash Advantage Over GOP's Herschel Walker Going Into Runoff Election
Warnock, whose 2021 victory was in a special election to serve out the remainder of GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson's term, says he's convinced enough voters, including independents and moderate Republicans, that he deserves a full term. “I love y’all, and we’re gonna win this election,” he said at a winery in Ellijay, comparing the election to his athletic success. “I love winning championships.
Walker, who used his athletic fame to coast to the GOP nomination, has sought to portray Warnock as a yes-man for President Joe Biden. He has sometimes made the attack in especially personal terms, accusing Warnock of “being on his knees, begging” at the White House — a searing charge for a Black challenger to level against a Black senator about his relationship with a white president.
Warnock has countered with his individual Senate accomplishments, touting a provision he sponsored to cap insulin costs for Medicare patients and reminding voters that Republicans blocked his larger idea to cap those costs for all insulin-dependent patients.
