Democrat Raphael Warnock Wins Georgia Senate Seat in Runoff
ATLANTA – Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated Republican challenger Herschel Walker in a Georgia runoff election Tuesday, ensuring Democrats an outright majority in the Senate for the rest of President Joe Biden’s term and helping cap an underwhelming midterm cycle for the GOP in the last major vote of the year.
Warnock, Georgia’s first Black senator, was slated to address a jubilant crowd at a nearby downtown hotel shortly after Walker’s remarks. Walker’s defeat bookends the GOP’s struggles this year to win with flawed candidates cast from Trump’s mold, a blow to the former president as he builds his third White House bid ahead of 2024.
Elections officials reported few problems processing early votes and tabulating ballots cast Tuesday. He was also forced to acknowledge during the campaign that he had fathered three children out of wedlock whom he had never before spoken about publicly. The mother of one of those children told The Daily Beast that Walker had not seen his young son since January 2016 and had to be taken to court for child support – in direct conflict with Walker’s years spent criticizing absentee fathers and his calls for Black men, in particular, to play an active role in their kids’ lives.
“I didn’t believe he had a statement of what he really believed in or had a campaign that made sense,” Callaway said.
