Incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock in tight race with Republican Herschel Walker
Hershel Walker is closing out a long campaign characterized by scandal. Walker has touted non-existent careers with the FBI and military, and falsely claimed that he graduated from the University of Georgia.
Multiple women have accused him of abuse. In just the past week, an ex-girlfriend of Walker said he was violent toward her, grabbing her throat and throwing a punch at her when she found him with another woman at his apartment in Dallas. Walker’s ex-wife, Cindy Grossman, has also said that Walker abused her and threatened to shoot and kill her. Two women also came forward to say that Walker, despite posturing against abortion rights, pressured them to abort pregnancies.
