Republican Herschel Walker Has Raised Almost $10 Million Since Announcing Georgia Senate Bid in August 2021
“Walker is considered the clear front-runner in the GOP primary, thanks to his high name recognition in the Peach State and the endorsement he received from former President Donald Trump”
Herschel Walker, the Trump-backed NFL alum running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Georgia, has raised an impressive amount of campaign cash since announcing his candidacy.
Walker also has an impressive lead over other primary contenders.
It’s looking likely that Walker will be the one to run against Democrat Raphael Warnock in November.
Paul Steinhauser reports at FOX News:
Trump-backed Herschel Walker reports hauling in nearly $10M since launching GOP Senate bid in Georgia
Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker is off to a very fast start when it comes to fundraising for his Senate campaign as he tries to unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia in the November’s midterm elections.
The former professional and college football star running back, who won a Heisman Trophy and helped propel the University of Georgia to a national championship, announced on Wednesday that his campaign pulled in nearly $10 million in fundraising from his late August launch through the end of last year. Walker’s campaign also reported raking in $5.4 million during the October-December fourth quarter of fundraising.
Walker’s team, which shared their fundraising figures first nationally with Fox News, showcased that their haul the past three months came from 44,364 individual donors from all 50 states…
Walker is considered the clear front-runner in the GOP primary, thanks to his high name recognition in the Peach State and the endorsement he received from former President Donald Trump – who for months encouraged Walker to run and who remains very popular and influential among Republican voters in Georgia and across the country. And recent polling suggests Walker holding a wide lead over his Republican rivals.
Walker is already bringing the fight to Warnock on Twitter:
Democrats label anything they disagree with as racist. Georgia’s voting law does NOT prevent black people from voting like Senator Warnock says it does. This is not about voter suppression, it is about President Biden and the federal government wanting more power.

A pro-Walker PAC is also going after Warnock.
Tyler Olson recently reported at the FOX Business Network:
Pro-Herschel Walker PAC hits Warnock over gas prices, inflation in billboard ads
A super PAC supporting Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker is spending more than $50,000 on a billboard campaign attacking Sen. Raphael Warnock over inflation and gas prices as the midterms loom later this year.
The PAC, called 34N22, after Walker’s number 34 from his playing days at the University of Georgia and in the NFL, says the billboards will appear in the major cities of Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and Savannah.
The two economically-focused billboards say “Inflation hurts families” and “Gas prices are insane.” Each includes the hashtag “#WarnockIsn’tWorking.”
A third billboard hits Warnock on law and order, saying, “Crime is killing Atlanta.”
Inflation and prices are at the top of voters’ minds, according to a FOX Business Poll released last month.
Real Clear Politics currently has the Georgia race categorized as a toss-up, but I suspect that will change in the near future, as people begin to pay more attention to the midterms.

Go Dawgs! Sic’ em…..
It’s going to be like pro RB Herschel Walker being covered by a Pee-Wee League defensive end.
The Dims and their media lapdogs are waiting for Walker to lock down the nomination, and then the barrage of negative press regarding his ‘mental health issues’ will commence. It will be a coordinated character assassination.
Either that, or one of those people who doesn’t know his place.
Soon to be 10,000,050
If I lived in GA, I’d vote for him.
If GA hadn’t passed its voter integrity law, I’d go to GA, stop by some nursing homes to pick up ballots, and vote for him 50 times. That’s what the Dems do in CA with their ballot harvesting.
Loved him as a Philadelphia Eagle
Go Herschel!
He seems to be very grounded, disciplined and be possessed of common sense – the opposite of the likes of Fat Stacy Abrams.
Hoping he is a star in this realm just like everywhere else!
Any idea why his parents gave him a German name that (as a first name) is almost exclusively used by Jews?
Firstly, why does it matter? Secondly, isn’t it NOYB?
They had their own reasons.
.
Herschel should have run for governor; he would win. State control matters more than Congress. As foul a thought as it is, Abrams will be installed here now because Kemp has been exposed and can’t beat her again. All of this, by malevolent design.
Love the guy! – but didn’t he suffer for years with untreated multiple-personality disorder? If so, that could be a bit awkward coming down the stretch in a campaign.
Walker should win without any trouble — except that the Democrats are still in a position to cheat. Unless the corrupt, stupid Republican establishment gets behind some real reform of election law (and enforces it), the election will be a repeat of the last two (with a substantially lower, but successful, level of fraud).
