GOP feeling better about Walker’s chances in Georgia
By Max Greenwood -
Republicans are experiencing a jolt of optimism in Georgia’s hotly contested Senate race amid signs that their candidate, former football star Herschel Walker, is starting to close the gap with Sen. Raphael Warnock (D).
After a series of early stumbles that prompted intense handwringing among top Senate Republicans, party officials say they’re beginning to see a more professional operation emerge from Walker’s campaign.
And despite the surge that Democratic Senate candidates have seen in other states over the past two months, the polls in Georgia have shown a race that’s largely tightening. An InsiderAdvantage-Fox 5 Atlanta poll released earlier this month found Walker with a 3-point lead over Warnock — a reversal from July, when the Democratic incumbent led by the same margin.
“I think you’re seeing the professionalization of Herschel as a candidate,” said Chuck Clay, a former state senator and Georgia GOP chair. “He is who he is. His early on statements that were kind of goofy or off the wall — but never malicious or mean-spirited — have sort of been brought under control.”
