He also cited Biden’s border policy, blaming him and Warnock for fentanyl in Georgia.Warnock said he was “glad” Congress passed the first gun safety law in 30 years. “The President has already moved to do student debt relief and there’s additional relief for folks like me who when they got student loans were Pell Grant eligible,” said Warnock, adding that more reform is needed in student loan forgiveness.Walker didn’t back down during the exchange with Warnock on abortion.
Walker countered how the changes made it easier to vote, but “harder to cheat.” But the GOP candidate, who was recruited by former President Donald Trump to run, acknowledged Biden won the last presidential election.During the Senate debate Warnock admitted that President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
Walker said in response,"You know, I believe in reducing insulin, but at the same time you got to eat right."The economy is at the top of mind for the majority of voters and the issue was first posed to Walker, who said energy independence is what can reduce high inflation rates.
