Herschel Walker Files to Run for Senate

Former NFL running back Herschel Walker (R) has filed paperwork to run for Senate, challenging freshman Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) in Georgia next year, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

“He entered the race at the urging of former President Donald Trump, who said the one-time running back would be as ‘unstoppable’ as a candidate as he was on the field. He also boasts sky-high name recognition in Georgia and an outsider persona, traits he hopes will help him breeze to the GOP nomination.”
