AJC: Herschel Walker on Senate bid: “I can’t sit on the sidelines anymore.”
Herschel Walker offered a hint at how he’ll wage his campaign for U.S. Senate with a statement Wednesday that emphasizes his small-town Georgia roots and his personal story and makes little mention of his political views.
Donald Trump encouraged Walker to run. He’s largely favored to win the Republican nomination, but a win in the general election is seen as a bigger challenge. One issue that is expected to impact him is the fact that he actually lives in Texas, not Georgia.
A Republican who doesn't currently live in Georgia and only just registered to vote in Georgia *this month* is now running for Senate in Georgia.https://t.co/HWu2YBm7YE
