Herschel Walker Says He’s a Changed Man

Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker released a new direct-to-camera ad, in which the candidate tells viewers he’s a changed man, “saved by grace” from mental illness.

Playbook: “The spot was filmed as a rejoinder to Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, whose campaign has run ads highlighting Walker’s history of violent behavior, including repeatedly threatening to kill an ex-wife, choking her and holding a razor to her throat.”

“But the specter of the abortion story hangs over the ad, especially given Walker’s invocation of Christianity in telling his redemption story.”
