Meanwhile, Walker has been out on the campaign trail dragging Warnock but neglecting to explain what he would do if actually elected to the Senate—a frightening thought.
“Herschel Walker has no vision for our state or for our country,” Warnock said, according to the AJC, during a rally in early November. “Think about it, we’ve been running now for a little while, and he has yet to tell us what he actually wants to do. Think about that. He’s running for Senate, and he has not even told us what he wants to do.”
What Walker has done is run his mouth incessantly without making an iota of sense.
In a recent ad from Warnock’s camp, several Georgians were asked to listen to clips from Walker’s speeches and, like the rest of us, they were left perplexed, “embarrassed” about his “lack of substance,” and asking, “Why would I want someone like that leading the state of Georgia?”

But it’s not just Walker’s inability to string together a cohesive thought, it’s the ubiquitous lies, the hypocrisy, and his lack of connection to the state he’s running in that leaves so many wondering how we even arrived at a Senate runoff. Despite Democrats successfully running for national office in recent elections and giving the state a purplish hue, the Georgia offices of the governor, attorney general, and down the line, including the House and Senate, all remain under Republican control.
There’s hope, though, and Georgia’s Democrats understand that Warnock’s win is hardly in the bag yet. So, despite Gov. Brian Kemp’s recent win over Stacey Abrams and his horrific voter suppression bill SB 202, we’re out in force from Atlanta to Savannah to cast our ballots.

Even on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, the line is *massive* — and, even better, the person who sent this told me there are “many students in line.” Gen Z-ers in Georgia will save Georgia & Democracy. pic.twitter.com/oBi7bcohOR — Victor Shi (@Victorshi2020) November 27, 2022
In recent days, Walker’s given a few interviews, primarily to conservative outlets.
Here are a few gems from the Heisman Trophy winner and former President Trump-backed candidate.

x Herschel Walker went on to say he “polished” and “rounded” his son’s head “everyday” and then his son “looked like [his] side of the family.”
Walker claimed the polishing process on his son’s head “made him smart.” pic.twitter.com/CKnxqadvKY — PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 (@patriottakes) November 24, 2022
And if you’re confused about why such an ill-prepared and undeserving candidate is even in the race, look no further than a recent appearance Walker made with Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Ted Cruz.
x Didn't let Herschel get in so much as a 'Yassa, boss.' That's cold.

And the meme that followed:
As the final results of the 2022 midterm elections came into focus this past week, the lack of clarity in the GOP’s leadership also became apparent. Kerry and Markos break down what this means for Democratic voters going forward and how Donald Trump’s campaign for president is a lose lose proposition for Republicans.
