Granderson: Herschel Walker's candidacy is more interesting now that Senate control is decided (via latimesopinion)
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s reelection sets her up to be the alternative to Republican candidates like Donald Trump or Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
Duncan also suggested Walker’s first call should be to Trump to ask him to “stay home” during the runoff. Strange advice given Trump is the reason Walker relocated to Georgia and got in the race in the first place. It would appear Duncan, who despises the former president, wants Walker to publicly declare he’s under new management.Walker’s own party is openly treating him like a prop, with no agency of his own.
He served from 2009 to 2011, coinciding with the election of President Obama. Years later, Ian Walters, a spokesman for the Conservative Political Action Conference, looked back at the moment when the country had put a Black guy in charge and said Republicans “weren’t sure what to do.” After Republicans rode the tea party wave back into power following the 2010 midterm elections, they got rid of Steele. Today the party will tolerateThere is a short-sighted storyline in the national media that suggests the runoff in Georgia matters less now that control of the Senate has already been decided in Democrats’ favor. I think it got more interesting because the voters won’t simply be expressing their preference for which party should control the Senate.
