Senator Herschel Walker? Trump Urges Former NFL Star to Run for GA Senate Seat

Former President Donald Trump encouraged former NFL star Herschel Walker to run for Senate in Georgia in 2022.

In a short press release, Trump wrote, “Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia? He would be unstoppable, just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the NFL. He is also a GREAT person. Run Herschel, run!”

The Washington Times reports:

There also has been talk in Trump circles of Mr. Walker running for governor in Georgia against incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, a Trump foe. But Mr. Trump has warmed to the idea of the former University of Georgia football star campaigning for Senate instead.

Mr. Walker and the former president have known each other since 1983, when Mr. Trump signed him to play for the New Jersey Generals football team in the old United States Football League.

Mr. Walker went on to star for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL, and he still lives in the Dallas area. But he maintains a business in Georgia.

Walker would run against newly-elected radical Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock, who defeated Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler in a January runoff election.
