For many political experts, Republicans are showing they’re willing to take back power no matter what.
“I don't think that Republican voters are quite frankly turned off by a lot of Herschel Walker's commentary or his lack thereof when it comes to issues that matter as much as they are the thought of losing that seat or a Democrat holding that seat,” Democratic strategist Ameshia Cross told Yahoo News. “Republicans want to take back Georgia by any means necessary.”resonates with voters.
The two-year congressional veteran has largely sidestepped the political fray and presents himself as leader for all Georgians, regardless of political affiliation."I believe in Georgia, and I believe in us," Warnock saidin his birth city of Savannah."And I know that when we stand together, the whole state is better."
Nate Lerner, a strategist at Democratic consulting firm Build the Wave, agrees that a strong showing from Walker could counter negative stories plaguing the campaign, but he says he hasn’t seen the evidence that Walker or his team can turn things around.
