In January 2021, Georgia elected Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff into the U.S. Senate. The elections of Warnock and Ossoff happened due to low GOP voter turnout; data and voting stats comparing the 2020 presidential election vs. the 2021 Senate runoffs showed a considerable drop in Republican voters for the latter election.
Ossoff is set for the standard six-year senatoral term; however, the same cannot be said for Sen. Warnock. This is because Warnock is completing the term of a now-retired Georgia senator; therefore, he is up for re- election in 2022.
“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-” (CC BY 2.0) by Senate Democrats Warnock being up for re-election means that Georgians will have a do- over. Earlier this year, former Sen. David Perdue was thought of as a potential challenger for Warnock; however, Perdue announced last month that he would not run for office in the 2022 Senate race.
This month, former President Trump released a statement urging college football star Herschel Walker to challenge Warnock in the 2022 Senate race, Washington Examiner confirms.
Walker vs. Warnock 2022?
In a statement this week, Trump declared that Walker would be an “unstoppable” force against Sen. Warnock. Noting Walker’s success as a player for the National Football League (NFL) and Georgia Bulldogs, the former president praised Walker as a “great person” before urging him to run.
