The Heisman Trophy-winning Georgia running back has been urged to run against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock by former President Donald Trump.
Herschel Walker has officially filed to run for Senate in Georgia, adding a dose of star power to the Republican bench in one of the nation’s premier midterm races.
“He would be unstoppable, just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the NFL,” Trump said in a written statement earlier this year about Walker. “He is also a GREAT person. Run Herschel, run!” Though he has the backing of Trump and favorable poll numbers, Republicans close to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have privately expressed concerns about whether Walker is ready for the intense pressure of a campaign that could decide control of the chamber.
Walker was accused by his ex-wife of being “physically abusive” and displaying “extremely threatening behavior.” According to, Walker has also exaggerated the success of his chicken distribution business, Renaissance Man Food Services, and clashed with business partners. Walker openly discussed his mental health challenges by penning a 2008 book, “Breaking Free,” in which he disclosed he had multiple personalities that he was able to overcome due to therapy and his Christian faith.
. Blanchard, Walker’s gatekeeper and top adviser, told the publication that she feels she’s a lawful Georgia resident because she owns a business in the state and holds a Georgia driver's license.
