Although the Georgia Senate race was close in its first round, the runoff poses new challenges for Herschel Walker.
, Walker performed worse in Georgia’s elections than Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who was reelected to his post on Tuesday.. It’s possible that a significant portion of the voters who backed Walker only did so because he appeared on a ballot alongside Kemp — meaning that Walker will need to motivate those voters to return to the ballot box in a month’s time, which could prove difficult since only him and Warnock will be on the ballot.
The race could potentially be complicated by an announcement from former President Donald Trump that he will be running for president in 2024. That announcement, which will likely be happening next week, could distract from Walker’s efforts to energize his base for the runoff race. It could also divert much-needed fundraising dollars away from Walker, as many of his supporters would likely donate to Trump’s presidential campaign.
