Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated Republican Herschel Walker Tuesday in Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoff, securing a 51st seat for Democrats in Congress’ upper chamber, giving the party greater power to push its agenda in the chamber
Georgia’s Senate race between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker is a question of turnout, voter access and scandals’ reach.
Walker also fabricated key details of his education and career, falsely claiming he worked for law enforcement and bragging that he was “in the top 1%” of his college graduating class when he did not graduate. In his short time in office, Warnock noted, he had written the provision in the Inflation Reduction Act that capped insulin prices for Medicare patients. He also emphasized his support for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which boosted federal funding for Georgia’s roads and bridges, and for the expanded Child Tax Credit, which he hailed as the single largest tax cut for middle- and working-class families in America.
Kemp also appeared in a recent ad, assuring conservatives that a vote for Walker would be “a vote for Georgia,” not “another rubber stamp for Joe Biden.” “What the heck is a pronoun?” he asked a crowd at a rally in Cumming, Ga. “You know, I’m sick and tired of this pronoun stuff.” But that didn’t mean the battle was over: Republicans — who are typically older and white — tend in show up in greater force on election day.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I can’t have Herschel Walker representing my mama,” WarnockDemocrats spent $56 million on TV and radio ads for the runoff, more than double the $26 million spent by Republicans, according to AdImpact, a media tracking firm.
